How to stop being scared of SIDS?

I was terrified with my first so I made sure she was safe and anytime the thought of it popped into my head I would sing a song in my head and cut the thought off. Maybe not the healthiest way but it got none through it.

I have an owlet so this helps me a lot and also I know fate is fate so if god wants to take my daughter then he will and it’s her time.

Im a first time mom and I did my research on SIDS and followed the advice they give to prevent it from happening..I was scared as hell and stressed about it but once you are in a routine with your baby the fear slowly goes away🩷 my son is almost 1 now

Try my best to do everything I can in my power to keep my baby safe and if the thoughts come in my head I check on her and then try to relax

I have an owlet- pretty good the first couple of times to ease my mind but tbh I don’t use it anymore. Someone on here said after a routine the fear fades which is true! My bby girl is about to be 2 months and we already have a night routine, and getting to know your baby and paying attention on how she maneuvers builds trust that she will be okay during the night 😊

Just do your best to do what you can to reduce the risk

I love the owlet dream sock. Definitely expensive but it gives me such a peace of mind to know my baby is good. She only wants to sleep on her stomach and I’ve been going crazy because uhhh for obvious reasons lol, but since she’s been wearing her sock for naps and bedtime, I don’t worry about her losing oxygen or her heart rate because the sock literally does that for you, and will alert you if either one is low. We also invested in the owlet cam 2 which also keeps track of temperature, etc! Definitely worth looking on Facebook marketplace or amazon for deals on both!

Honestly, I just follow all AAP guidelines and I have an owlet. Still scared, but at least feel better that I'm doing everything I can to prevent it!

I never did, I was just very careful and eventually baby just outgrew the risk

Try to turn your fear into a checklist, when it comes up make a list of the things you're doing to keep baby safe and use the fear as a reminder, When I get the sudden grip of worry I try to think "oh its nice that she has a sleeping bag because that's a thing I've done for her to be safer, oh it's nice that I've done such and such because that's better for her" I try to avoid the rhetoric of "this decreases likelihood of sids" or "this is 5% better" etc and instead phrase it positively, and it reminds me that I've.made as safe an environment as possible for my little one

I was quite scared for a few months leading up to birth but you just get over it one day! I think I got over it knowing my body naturally woke up to check on her. Plus in the first couple of weeks we had to set alarms to feed her through the night anyway x
