LO scared the crap outta me, now I can't sleep

We've been transitioning LO into her crib and been somewhat successful with it.  Last night, she was extremely fussy while trying to put her down.  After over an hour of trying, I was so exhausted, I finally just put her in the bed with me.  Within minutes she was out, as I placed her in her crib, she would instantly wake up.  So ended up sleeping with me.  Same thing happened again tonight.  Finally gave in. 

I had just closed my eyes when I started to hear almost a gagging sound from LO.  I look over and it literally sounds like she's choking.  I quick snatch her up and turn her so her belly is down and start patting her back.  It sounds like she's forcing something up.  I yell for DH to wake up and turn on a light.  Eventually LO finally vomits.  I continue patting her back in case there is more.  She looks up at me in complete shock. 

Now.  I cannot sleep.  I am so paranoid.  I know she is fine now but it literally scared the hell outta me to the point I almost started crying.  This is the exact reason that I bought the AngelCare monitor, because this has been my fear.  Part of me is sooo greatful that she was next to me when this happened because I was able to react within seconds.  But OMG... my heart is still racing.

    I know exactly what you are talking about! There has been a few times when Easton has choked on some mucus in his throat and thankfully he was still  in our room! I want to start transferring him into his crib but I as well am very paranoid!! So glad your baby girl is ok!!! :)

    It had to have been the scariest moment of my life.  A couple of times in the past few days the monitor went off, I've jumped SO fast out of bed and to her crib.  It all makes me not want to sleep.  I'll take night shifts, DH can have day shifts.  Lol... I'm kidding.  However, it is tempting.

    LO has been in her crib from day one, and although we haven't had any vomiting, there has been spitting up in the crib and she always turns her head if she needs to. We bought a Snuza to make sure she doesn't stop breathing, and for the first three weeks I have slept on the daybed in her room. I have woken up a few times and she had spit up, it didn't wake me at all. So I would try not to worry so much. If LO was really having a problem you would hear it on the monitor and it would wake you.

    Her spitting up is what prompted me to buy the Angelcare Monitor.  Though, she would always turn her head when she spit up it still scared me.  What happened tonight, however, was not spit up.  Her face was completely red, and she was forcing the vomit out.  I know she will be fine, and DH and I are currently sleeping in her room (not our choice, long story about our crappy landlord) so I know we will be right there if anything happens.  At the current moment I am overly paranoid.  By morning I will be fine, just right now, I'm in "over protective new mom mode".
