I am Terrified and having the worst anxiety about SIDS 😯🙁!! Does swaddling your baby when they are…

When my daughter was first born

What's that ?

@diegosmommy0213 sudden infant death

Oh ok

I used a video camera monitor since my son was months old till now he's Three y old n I still use it

Swaddling is fine as long as she doesnt overheat 😊 I only like the muslin swaddles for that reason

It's something to worry about but don't stress yourself out. Swaddling is best it comforts and calms baby and keeps them bundled so they don't turn over. I did with both my boys. I also used a sleep sack since they didn't like legs tied up in blanket. I used a monitor with both kids and still use it today just so I can hear what's going on and keep them safe

I didn't swaddle very long bc she turned/slept on her side early on. I have a snuza but haven't used it since we bedshare. I would just stare at her and keep checking if she was breathing when she was in bassinest. I can't even remember how long she slept in bassinest, wasn't very long. I still worry about SIDS, but it's gotten better

Bedshare? @nowmrspost in arms or in co sleeper? Im almost to that point 😥 I know it is normal right now for me to feel like this , but my anxiety is off the chart.

What causes SIDS is unknown and it can't be prevented. Swaddling your child when she's asleep is comforting to babies. I swaddled my daughter every night and throughout the day to comfort her. I wouldn't stress yourself out too much about SIDS just be aware of it.

She and I share a king size bed. I have a waterproof "pad" (like what u would put on a changing pad) she sleeps on with a burp rag under her head so it's not scratchy. She sleeps next to me and I hold her hand/s usually. Sometimes we sleep reclined w her on my chest if I fall asleep after feeding/burping her. The halo bassinest is right next to the bed and it has mesh sides but I couldn't touch her stomach or hold her hand without sitting up/getting up

I'd be wary of the in bed co sleepers w foam sides in case she rolls into it

I felt the same way when my daughter was new so I got this monitor to put under the mattress that will sound an alarm if there is no movement (breathing) for 20 seconds

Oh nice!!!!! @amorrione how long does there have to be no movement?

20 seconds. It's normal for infants to have short (5-10 seconds) periods of apnea while they're sleeping. 20 seconds is long enough that it won't alarm unnecessary but short enough that simply waking the baby is enough to restart breathing.

Nice! @amorrione and you like it? No complaints?

Well my daughter is still fine so yeah no complaints lol
