Babies on the Brain
I am so paranoid and neurotic- FFFC
When Lucas was first born I was terrified of SIDS and hardly slept because I was watching him.
Now, I am terrified of autism. I worry constantly about the signs and what I should watch for and how to "prevent" it (if that's even possible). Lucas has always hit his milestones on time, if not, early. But I am still so paranoid.

You can thank Nursing school for that :-)
I do the same thing Stephanie, so don't feel bad lol

You will always be loved & missed our sweet angel.
Ugh, I know. I'm always looking for symptoms that probably aren't there. I hate knowing too much sometimes.
There are new studies coming out of San Diego that children who are later diagnosed as having autism have signs as early as their first birthdays. It's really quite interesting.
Lucas will be fine :-)
This. I'd rather be blissfully ignorant.
You're not alone in this paranoia. Being a special ed teacher doesn't help either.
DH was the one that was more paranoid of SIDS in our house since his BF lost their son at 30 days from it. Don't get me wrong, I worry too, just not as much as he does.
Now autism and other things, definitely get me. Shelby was sitting at 5 months, but she's not crawling, not on her hands and knees rocking, not attempting to pull up, I'm scared that she's behind on these other milestones and it really scares the crap out of me.
