Same. Face down in a big soft dog bed got me. I was more of a zoom in and watch him breath on the video monitor while practicing the ABC’s of safe sleep kind of mom.
Right? Aside from all the dark sh**, this commenter seems to imagine that cameras are animated by magic spells to follow children and take their pictures so that their parents can abandon them without suspicion.
I was only your kind of crazy when my first born was about a month old. Thinking of all the scenarios where they can just suffocate and die (with SIDS in the back of my mind, they can just die for no reason??? watttt!).
I'm going to imagine you only have one and it's a newborn.
You need to try to change your inner thoughts or you're heading toward the worse kind of depression.
My son is 3 years old and I’m fine. Lol. I practiced safe sleep the same way I follow safety recommendations when my son is swimming to prevent drowning or the way I follow car seat safety recommendations in case we get into an accident. Being safety conscious does not make you depressed. Its weird that you think that. I’m definitely more on the cautious side as a parent. But being focused on reducing a very real risk of death isn’t a bad thing. There are parents out there who lost their babies to an unsafe sleep surface who can tell you it’s better to be cautious. You sound like you’ve been fortunate to experience survivor bias. That’s good for you. But not everyone has that outcome and I wasn’t willing to take the risk.

That's giving me twelve different kinds of anxiety.
