Swaddling nothing! That's amazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-at-night-panickinghallucinating-about-where-your-baby-is#post-441256 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 13:04:35 +0000 mediagirl 441256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yeah. I had many panicked moments in those early months. It was always after I had fed her in bed. She slept in a bassinet next to our bed so I would pick her up, feed her and put her back in. I'd say once a week, I would have freak out moments. My husband had a couple, as well!!! She was always safe and sound in her bassinet.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-at-night-panickinghallucinating-about-where-your-baby-is#post-441252 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 13:04:06 +0000 cyndistar3 441252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the very beginning I went a little crazy a couple times thinking I lost my baby! DH worked graveyard so I took care of her all night, I sometimes forgot that I put her back in her bassinet and totally flipped out thinking she was lost in the bed or fell on the floor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-at-night-panickinghallucinating-about-where-your-baby-is#post-441247 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 13:02:58 +0000 GrapeCrush 441247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we would do it all the time! i would wake up with my heart racing thinking i had smothered him in our bed and couldn't find him...he never slept in our bed either! the best though was when one night DH woke up, sat up on the edge of the bed, grabbed a blanket and held it in his arm like DS was in his arms and started swaddling nothing! i just sat there and watched him and was like 'what are you doing?' we still laugh about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-at-night-panickinghallucinating-about-where-your-baby-is#post-441234 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 12:57:06 +0000 Mrsbells 441234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: Yes very horrible moment of panic! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-at-night-panickinghallucinating-about-where-your-baby-is#post-441230 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 12:55:52 +0000 travelgirl1 441230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babynumber1: We did it for a few weeks because she literally wouldn't sleep anywhere except on me (solved that by swaddling her arms though) and DH hated it. I don't think he's gotten over his fear of squashing her, poor guy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-at-night-panickinghallucinating-about-where-your-baby-is#post-441187 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 12:40:35 +0000 babynumber1 441187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is that moment of panic when you wake up that keeps us from cosleeping, even on the worst nights. It is terrible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-at-night-panickinghallucinating-about-where-your-baby-is#post-441183 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 12:38:15 +0000 travelgirl1 441183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: @rachiecakes: @autumnlove: @yoursilverlining: @MerryC: so glad it's not just me! It's a horrible feeling though isn't it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-at-night-panickinghallucinating-about-where-your-baby-is#post-441175 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 12:35:32 +0000 twinmama 441175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep, I wrote a post about it awhile back but got no love :)</p> <p>i woke up digging for our babies in the bedsheets almost every night postpartum. i just realized it's finally stopped in their 4th month. didn't matter if they were actually sleeping in our room or theirs. i even tried to breastfeed the non-present babies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-at-night-panickinghallucinating-about-where-your-baby-is#post-441173 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 12:34:56 +0000 yoursilverlining 441173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This happened a couple of times very early on (within the first month). I ripped apart the bed every time it happened, convinced that LO was caught up in the sheets and I just couldn't find her :(<br /> Those nightmares were terrible, so glad they went away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-at-night-panickinghallucinating-about-where-your-baby-is#post-441165 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 12:32:12 +0000 autumnlove 441165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only when she sleeps in bed with us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-at-night-panickinghallucinating-about-where-your-baby-is#post-441161 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 12:31:20 +0000 rachiecakes 441161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: one night I fell asleep with DS and DH put him back in his crib while I was still asleep. I woke up, bolted straight up out of bed!, freaking out that he had fallen off the bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-at-night-panickinghallucinating-about-where-your-baby-is#post-441157 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 12:28:13 +0000 Mrsbells 441157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: This happened to me in the first week when we brought the baby home. I also thought she was laying at the foot of the bed, and I even woke DH up because I thought he was kicking her off the bed, but she was sound asleep in her crib </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-at-night-panickinghallucinating-about-where-your-baby-is#post-441154 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 12:27:12 +0000 travelgirl1 441154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I often wake up and think in my mombie sleep deprived state that A is in bed with us, I can see her face in the duvet and it looks like I've squashed her so I panic and try grab her then realise she's not there. DH is even worse, he'll tear the whole bed apart looking for her. Lol. Last night he woke me up panicking he couldn't find her and I had to show her to him, sleeping in her Moses basket, to get him back to sleep. We're crazy. I think it comes from us cosleeping for the first three weeks and we were obviously scared of squashing her.</p> <p>Anyone else? Or are we lone crazies? </p>
