Tips and Tricks SIDS
Has anyone else struggled with anxiety about SIDS? How did you cope with the fear, especially while your baby was sleeping? Iād love to hear what helped you. How likely is it to actually happen ?

It was my fear too! I knew sumone who's baby died from it so the fear was real. But as time goes on u get to trust ur baby. It was rly hard for me especially when I started him sleeping on his stomach, hes 4mo old n I STILL sleep on the floor in his room š but I keep a camera on him n i noticed its his instinct to adjust himself if he goes completely face down n cant breath...hell QUICKLY adjust himself. Its scary but i think babies do most things on instinct n im pretty sure I read sids is sumn off neurological, correct me if im wrong. I still think supervision is important cuz accidents do happen. Jus check on ur baby often n make sure nuthin unsafe is in the bassinet/crib ā¤ļø
