My thought process anytime my baby sleeps more than an hour in her bed.

My thought process anytime my baby sleeps more than an hour in her bed.


"wow she's been sleeping long.. Is she okay? What if she's not okay? I should check on her. But most likely she is fine and then I might wake her. But what if she isn't?? No I'm sure she's fine. Im a terrible mom because I'm not checking on her. Okay, I'll go check. I'm a terrible mom because I'm not letting her sleep. Oh well, I'd never be able to forgive myself if she wasn't okay and I didn't check....


**start feeling sick to my stomach**


"Alright I'm checking on her"


**sneak in, try to visually see if she's breathing, don't trust my eyes so I gently put my hand on her back/tummy**


"Okay she's fine"


**try to sneak out, half the time this all resulting in waking her, half the time not. Fortunately she didn't wake up this last time**


My baby is almost 4 months old... Why can't I just enjoy her nap for once? Her big sis is 2.5 years old and I still occasionally have these thoughts about her (although she rarely sleeps for very long so it usually isn't a concern).


Please tell me I'm not the only one who feels like this?

omg... I'm so depressed my child cries more than she doesnt..The only time she's not crying is when she's alsleep.. but she only sleeps 30 minutes each time. she won't sit in her carseat, her crib, pack n play , her swing, bouncer nothing!!! I have to hold ger 24/7 even when she's sleeping or else she will wake up. I'm tired I don't get any sleep nothing soothes her I don't even remember the last time I had enough time to bathe :'( I love her so much but this is so challenging

So my baby is 8 weeks old and is thriving with weight gain each doctors visit. So here is my question: around 4-5 hours at night for sleep she wakes up every night and sucks on her thumb. (She finally this week likes it to soothe her during nap times) her eyes are still closed and she moves around and sucks it. I wake her to feed her. My question is should I just let it go? And see if she is just soothing herself to sleep? I don't want her to stave by morning if she sleep a couple of more hours. What would you guys do?
