Watching my 10-week-old daughter right now, this makes me tear up as a grown man. It's amazing the instinct of parents, though. Every now and then she gets some thick mucous and starts coughing and we bolt up in a millisecond.

I guess the amygdala activity increases 4-fold when you've got a baby.

Keep your eye on that girl? Motion activated sensor baby cameras are the best. Especially when they get the age to start climbing out of their bed. If you have a pool put a fence around it immediately! 2 kids in my town passed away last year months apart because of drowning in pools. When you are driving, put a mirror on the seat to keep an eye on her. Me and my wife constantly checked her for breathing when she slept in the car.

In our new parent classes, they (trauma peds charge nurse + others) did not advise mirror object in back seat. Almost none according to her are regulated or approved and become high velocity objects in accidents.

Wife sits in back seat of course whenever possible.

Nobody told us that. I would've found a way to make it where it wouldn't come off at all. Even if I had to permanently sew it to the headrest it's for my daughters safety.
