I hope she feels better soon!!! I check on her a LOT when she's sick. When she was under 1 year, I would check on her a couple times a night, sick or not. Now I still go in and check on her before I go to bed. :) Bookish on "When your LO is sick, do you check on them to make sure they're breathing at night?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-lo-is-sick-do-you-check-on-them-to-make-sure-theyre-breathing-at-night#post-951627 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 07:10:40 +0000 Bookish 951627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Haha umm perfectly healthy LO and I check her breathing regularly.. It worries me when she's too quiet. DH admitted to checking her breathing as well, which I thought was sweet! We are a paranoid couple ;) edelweiss on "When your LO is sick, do you check on them to make sure they're breathing at night?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-lo-is-sick-do-you-check-on-them-to-make-sure-theyre-breathing-at-night#post-951618 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 07:03:44 +0000 edelweiss 951618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ even when healthy, i regularly look at the monitor to see LO's body rise and fall with his breathing to make sure he's still alive. loveisstrange on "When your LO is sick, do you check on them to make sure they're breathing at night?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-lo-is-sick-do-you-check-on-them-to-make-sure-theyre-breathing-at-night#post-951517 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 04:22:21 +0000 loveisstrange 951517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Haha, DH and I are the exact opposite! He freaks out and always wants to rush her to the ER. I'm the one whose "meh, she's got a cold, let's give it a couple days and see if it clears up".

I feel terrible for lo when she's sick! lemondrop on "When your LO is sick, do you check on them to make sure they're breathing at night?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-lo-is-sick-do-you-check-on-them-to-make-sure-theyre-breathing-at-night#post-951428 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 00:56:08 +0000 lemondrop 951428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Oh yeah, 18 months and we've been through several bouts of sick, I put the monitor on (which is rare) extra high so I can hear him snore. Or I pull him into our guest bed with me (like the last couple nights since he's had a pretty high fever on and off).

Was Sooo paranoid. doodlepoodle on "When your LO is sick, do you check on them to make sure they're breathing at night?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-lo-is-sick-do-you-check-on-them-to-make-sure-theyre-breathing-at-night#post-951292 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 22:35:13 +0000 doodlepoodle 951292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @MrsMccarthy: ha! DH asked if I'd still do this in 10 years. Yup. Sure will.

And we co sleep. So there ya go. You are not the most neurotic momma on the planet. I actually really love how the author of a Girlfriends Guide to The First Year describes it. She has a section devoted to mom paranoia and it's titled If Anything Happens to my Baby I'll have To Kill Myself. Yup. Pretty much sums it up.

I check her breathing several times a night as it is. My DH would be the exact same way, though! I hope she feels better soon!

I know it will beep if anything goes wrong but I know things can fail. I get happy when i hear little moans :) doodlepoodle on "When your LO is sick, do you check on them to make sure they're breathing at night?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-lo-is-sick-do-you-check-on-them-to-make-sure-theyre-breathing-at-night#post-951239 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 22:12:44 +0000 doodlepoodle 951239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Um j is 100% healthy and I just checked his breathing. I do it regularly. DH closes the bedroom door all the way and I get so mad! ;) Ps I'm so sorry h is sick! :( it's such a helpless feeling as a mama. PrincessBaby on "When your LO is sick, do you check on them to make sure they're breathing at night?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-lo-is-sick-do-you-check-on-them-to-make-sure-theyre-breathing-at-night#post-951229 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 22:09:33 +0000 PrincessBaby 951229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ The sweetest girl in the world has finally fallen victim to a sickness. She was running fever in the 101s and other than being tired and fussy, no other symptoms. She went to sleep 4 hours ago and I have checked to make sure she was breathing 467 times. It is freaking me out! But I guess I need to toughen up, there are sooooo many more sick days to come! What also baffles me is the difference in a man and a woman when it comes to a sick baby...Me to DH: "Do you think this is normal? Do you think she'll be okay? How long do you think this will last before she kicks it?!? I'm going to go put my hand on her and make sure she's breathing..." DH: "I dunno...Hey baby can you bring me a tums and some ice water?" Drive me nuts! I am alone in my paranoia!
