I feel like a psycho. She breathes so lightly. You can barely see that she is breathing. It totally freaks me out.
For all of you moms with older LO's... how long am I going to worry for? I know it's always something but I am so so so terrified of SIDS.

This, and I still do it from time to time.
This is me! Glad I'm not the only one! My LO will either breathe really lightly, or pant. It makes me crazy!
my DD is 14months and I still occasionally reach over to check on her... it is natural to check on baby, we mommas want to make sure our LO is OK..
My biggest problem was I worry about really horrible situations, like one night I had a dream she was murdered and ever since then I am so paranoid, it is a horrible thought and when I told my mom she said "Don't think that!! That is AWEFUL!" I know mom but I am a worry wort. The other thing I worry about is me dying and her having to live her life without me.... I hate thinking of that!
Little Rose is 2 1/2.
This is me always thinking of something so silly to worry about, like maybe he shouldnt sleep in his room b/c theres that big tree right outside and it could fall on his room. I dont know if I will ever not worry a ridiculus amount for him.
Ben is a super loud breather - we don't even use a monitor at night because I can literally hear him breathing from down the hall.
That being said, I don't think the worrying ever stops. Henry is almost three and I still worry about him constantly.
Uh...DD is two and I still check to make sure she's breathing! Ok, it is a little different now, I don't have that same horrible feeling like I did when she was younger (and now with DS). I think I stopped *really* worrying when DD was around 6 months.
me too!! And I'm super paranoid about SIDS too... I f-ing hate SIDS I wish it didn't exist!! Could anything be scarier for a new mom? A syndrome that has no known cause or warning signs in which your child suddenly dies in their sleep?? Horrible.
Worrying so much about LO is just one of the reasons I'm on meds for anxiety! lol
It never goes away. I have a daughter in college and I freak if I haven't heard from her in a couple of days. I was crazy tense the first time she crossed the street by herself, the first time I let her go into a public bathroom by herself, and when she started driving...OMG!
My baby is 7 weeks old and I worry someone will drop her, or I will trip with her in my arms, or that someone will break in a kidnap her, plus a myriad of other things. It is so weird because I am a very "go with the flow" person in all other aspects.
