I’ve been home with my newborn for going on 4 days now and I’ve had the worst anxiety about having her sleep in her bassinet. My partner and I have been taking turns sleeping so they other can hold her, which I know is not ideal and we are going to burn out. Any tips to deal with my insane anxiety? 😩

I was nervous at first, I would set alarms at night to check up on him at first until ny mind was at ease.

My sister had a side sleeper- a baby bed right next to hers so it was right by her to check on all night. Her baby stopped breathing on of its first days home and turned blue so she had fears she would stop breathing again at night. This helped her not stress.

I co slept 🤷♀️ I didn't want to put my son down at all. Later I wished I would've put him down . Lol only because I had to co clean with him . He refused to be put down. But I learned to do more things with holding a baby and doing stuff one handed that needed two 😂 also I co sleep with my second son too 🤷♀️ idk how people roll over on their kids or suffocate them in blankets. Like you know they're right there 🤔

What about the bassinet makes you anxious?

I’m just nervous that if I put her down and we both sleep that something could happen and we’re not awake for it. Which I’m completely aware is something I’m going to need to get over. After birth hormones have been real 😩😩

be careful or it could turn into an obsession. My husband and I did 12hr shifts for almost 4 months because we were so paranoid. FYI: nothing ever happened, and now my 2nd son is currently asleep in his bassinet and I'm chilling. Just go easy on yourself and relax ❤
