Is it just me?

When my LO is quiet i.e sleeping for a while I have to have a close look at her, and find Im always checkin if she's breathing, and if I cant tell will gently blow on her face to see if she moves. Am I just being wayyyy stupid? lol xx

I think it's only natural and quite common. I used to check on my first all the the time and the first time she slept through I woke up at 8 in a complete panic thinking something was wrong!! You'll learn to relax over time x
