Newborn sleep anxiety

Our little one is 11 days old and the sleep anxiety is really getting to me! He sleeps relatively well in his crib, and can sometimes do a 2/3 hour stretch, but I spend half the time he’s asleep checking on him and worrying about him! I’m either tired because he didn’t sleep great, or tired because he’s sleeping too good and I’m worrying! Is anyone else the same? Am I just going to worry for the rest of my life!? 😂

I’m the exact same, my LO is 9 days old and honestly sleeps really well but I’m awake all night worrying about her😂

@Ashley it’s so frustrating 😂 I always hoped for a baby that sleeps well, but now I’m the one that can’t sleep 😂

I’m the same, little one is 18 days old and I’m constantly checking her

I was like this with my newborn in 2023. It was horrible but it does get better. This time round i bought a snuza hero to try in the hope it gives me some comfort but I do understand your anxiety. Mine used to start the minute it got dark outside x

@Jenna I said this to my partner, I get anxious the minute it goes dark! I wonder why! X

I have a snuza too, hoping it gives me peace of mind

@Jenna how have you found the Snuza? I wanted the owlet sock but I can’t justify the cost… I also think It would probably make my anxiety worse and I’d obsess over the data! The Snuza is a much more reasonable price and less intense!
