Please tell me you've done this?

babies get quiet.

enjoy it. leave her be.

I know it's hard sometimes.

as moms, we worry.

Just try to relax and make the most out of the times they are quiet. The older they get, the fewer they become.

If it makes you feel any better, sometimes when my son is sleeping in his car seat I reach back and shake him to make sure he isn't dead.

;)

Aww you love her! I STILL obsess over my 3 year old... you are just a good mom. Don't be silly and feel guilty. You may be suffering from a little bout of post partum depression- I was at that time. I still get paranoid over nothing. I woke my son up because he fell asleep on the way home in the car without going to the bathroom. He just finished potty training last week. I had visions of him having accidents... my husband said- don't worry he'll wake up when he needs to.. but I dragged my poor son to the bathroom half asleep to make sure he got his nighttime potty done. I'm getting better, though. What I have learned is to just take a deep breath and let them grow up- she'll let you know what she needs. But being a good mom- and looking out for her is awesome. We need more good moms out there. Now take a break and pat yourself on the back!

Sounds like u might have some sort of anxiety disorder I'd go and see a doctor and tell the dr how much you freaked put about absolutly nothing yea it may feel like you are going crazy and being over protective of your baby but if you don't seek help now it will only get worse I had the same thing when my first daughter was born and left it for four years and now I have a severe anxiety disorder pls seek medical help for your self mate before it gets too bad :)

Nope, never.

I have, of course, gotten paranoid about nothing - that's normal - but certainly not to that extreme.

My one year old had seizures after she was born and was hospitalized at a week old. Of course we were totally paranoid for a long time after that, she was on meds for almost 6 months. The ped told us that one type of seizures in babies they look like they are riding a bicycle. Well,one night when she was about a month old I was changing her diaper. She was laying on her back and kicking her feet (yep - just like she was riding a bicycle!) and waving her arms. I was SURE she was having a seizure. LOL. She wasn't.

Im pretty sure most first time mamas have had a similar experience. Sure you were overreacting BUT most of us have. Just remember when you feel like you are starting to panic like you did tonight that it is just that overreacting. Congrats on the new baby and best of luck to you.

Nope, haven't done that.

I feel their forehead before I go to bed to make sure they haven't succumbed to SIDS, but I can't say I've ever purposely tried to make them cry.

However sometimes I am relieved when they do cry. I know they are alive and well. My cousin's baby died of SIDS and I am often fearful I'm going to find them dead. That when I touch their foreheads some night or during nap its going to be cold.

I don't go to that extreme. But I have felt him like a million times some days to be sure he is still breathing, because sometimes he is just so quite and doesn't move I get nervous. lol.

My son is almost 8 weeks and I had my moments with him for sure. Although it was within the first two weeks after birth. I was sure that his arm looked broken and went into complete meltdown mode. My boyfriend thought I was completely insane. It is part of the post partum (at least it was for me!)

I am anxious person as well. I always have an eye on my baby while he is asleep to make sure he is breathing.

"I did everything in my power to get my 5-week old to cry tonight."

Are you serious? You really need help. All parents want their child to had a good night sleep and not wake up crying.
