Is this normal-? about breathing

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

I'm up most of the night listening to LO breathe.  If I don't hear her anymore or if it sounds funny, I get up to check on her.  Sometimes I startle her because I lay my hand on her chest to feel if she is breathing.

How long does this paranoia last?  LOL..

    Well, I was like that for the first 2 or 3 weeks.  I'm pretty sure the paranoia will set back in when I put DS in his own room.  I'm gonna try it out next week.  :/

    A long time, because I still am doing it at 7 weeks. I also put my hand on my LO's chest in the middle of the night. He's still sleeping right next to me in the bassinet.

    It is normal for a newer baby to have spurts of rapid or shallow breathing. Willis scared me a few times. Ask your pedi about it at the next visit.

    I "think" my mom (a pedi) said they breathe erratically for around 4 months. I'd double check that though...

    I do the same thing!  No clue when it will end.

    That's a great question - since I have that paranoia, too.  I guess I'll be paranoid for a while longer.

    I don't know about you, but I got better after the first few weeks, so I figure it's all steps.

    I know it's normal...  I even tell myself that when I'm in bed listening to her.  Then I say to myself, "What if this time she really isn't breathing?". 

    Stick out tongue

    Let's see, my oldest is 4 and I still check on her at night to see if she is breathing.  I'll let you know:)

    My angelcare monitor relieves a lot of this anxiety for me!

    DD has STTN all along. I'm waiting for my turn to STTN. I'm just starting to not be as crazy and not get up at night. I think last week or the week before I settled my asss down. I do check on her though if I get up and go to the bathroom at night.

    I also don't wake up in a blind panic anymore searching the blankets because I SWORE that she was in bed with us. We've never co-slept and I do not plan on doing it, so I don't know where that has come from.
