I think I ruined a possible STTN

I woke up at 3:30 and realized I had not heard from DD all night ( she usually do a quick sleepy feed at around 2 or 230) so I went in her room and she was sleeping so quietly it scared me. I could not see her breathing so instead of waiting a second I panicked and scooped her out of the crib. she let out a deep breath and was fine of course. I layed her back down and of course could not go back to sleep myself and she woke up a half hour later. Why am I so neurotic?

'cause you're a mommy. I would have done the same thing. :-)

I freaked out the first night he basically STTN as well.  I had to put my hand on his chest to make sure he was still breathing (truthfully, I still do that when I wake up at night).  It's completely normal to freak out.

I did that just last night!  I laid in bed for a second to try to talk myself out of it, but then I talked myself into it by thinking that if I didn't get up and something was wrong that I would never forgive myself.  Oh well...better to be safe than sorry IMO!
