Hey sweet girl. I’m a mom of four and I remember postpartum anxiety really well. I also have ocd and health ocd. I just wanted to say hi and let you know you aren’t alone. I see you and I’m here for you.

My husband took one day off from work and he let me sleep ALL day, only woke me up to nurse, and I can’t stress how much that helped me. It literally reset me. If your husband can afford to take a day off, please do so!

Honestly what helped me was a co-sleeping crib! It feels like they’re right beside you but they have their own space. And getting them into routines early on helps it’s hard the first while but gets better slowly! It took me until she was around 2-2 1/2 months. If they like to be rocked rock him to sleep and do the sleep test and put him down feet first into the crib, don’t wake him up for feeding or changing it’s hard but he will get into a routine and you’re anxiety will lessen as time goes on. Hope you’re doing okay, it’s a difficult time but it gets better ❤

Look up laryngomalacia and bronchomalacia. The breathing etc might be related.

The bassinet may be cold for him, a tucked in blanket that’s warmer may help just make sure it’s tight like a fitted sheet. Also look into the healthy families program you can get in for home visits till he’s 3 months

It’s good you won’t cosleep, no matter what. My husband is a FF/Paramedic and has been to too many of those calls. It is ALWAYS from cosleeping, or blankets. It’s never worth it.

Longer stretches of sleep will help. See if your husband can do a night feeding so you can have solid sleep for longer. It’s ok to ask for help! Also we were the same way on no cosleeping so I get it ❤

I can totally relate!! I had reaaallllly severe health anxiety for both myself and my baby with my first. Had a very high risk pregnancy, bad labor and he was in the NICU then I was readmitted postpartum. Started out with negative net sleep from hospital stuff and he was a horrible sleeper. That mixed with my health anxiety caused constant panic attacks. Therapy and medication saved my life. That, and letting other people help me. I’m sorry you’re going through this!! I promise it will get better. But you do need to find a way to sleep and if you’re truly hallucinating go to the doctor ASAP. Sending love!!

Hey girl! Just wanted to say your a superwoman and everyday will just get a little easier. I’m on my second but the sleep was horrible with my second and with my first I had such horrible anxiety. It’s so hard mentally but just remember these hardships will pass and there will be a day you’re sleeping again throughout the night. Try getting these naps in as much as your brain allows and remember to soak up the memories no matter how hard the day is💕💕

Okay I know you’re scared of cosleeping- but there’s a safe way to do it thats safer than baby sleeping in a swing and you can get sleep! Totally okay if you’re not comfortable but I just wanted to offer the option, you and baby sleep with no blankets no pillow, it’s basically like you’re both in a crib lol you sleep in a c curl, so baby is safer. I was the same as you, I refused to cosleep I was so scared but it was the ONLY way I could get sleep. I have minimal help also it’s so hard 😭 but baby is 7 months now and as long as you follow all the safe steps to cosleeping if you get to the point where you are desperate, there’s a safer way to do it. I hope you get sleep soon. It gets better I promise 🤍🤍🤍

I promise it gets better 💙 but that anxiety around them is so real and exhausting! My kids are teens and I still get anxiety when they get sick. I saw your husband is military….spouses are not as close conus as they are oconus but theres usually always a spouse that wouldn’t mind to come give you a few hours to take a nap while they watch the baby sleep!

Your feelings are all valid. The PPA is so real. I realized I was upset that my husband wouldn’t check her breathing constantly like I would. I know everyone will say it but it does get better! And I was an EBF mom too - it was always silly to have dad fed because I would have to pump anyway. That gets easier too once you’re both in a better feeding rhythm. You’re doing amazing 🫶🏻

Oh girl…Anxiety with a newborn is no joke. My family is also hours away, and that was one of the hardest things for me postpartum. You take the fattest nap when your mom gets there❤️sending virtual hugs

Have you looked into a postpartum doula? Sometimes availability is limited depending on where you’re located, but they can be a lifesaver. They can help clean, cook, let you take naps, etc. Even one day of support makes a huge difference.

With the Owlet, put a regular sock over it! We do this because of a post I saw and we almost never get placement notifications now!

Do you have a trusted friend? Could they watch baby while you sleep. Speak to a DR re anxiety

I have eight kids… It was just me from the time that I had my first kid until I had just had my last one a year ago. No Mom… She’s dead. No dad… He’s dead. No brother… He’s also dead and we live 700 miles away from any other family. You can do this! The first month or two is a little bit hard but it’s ok. 🥰
