Normal for baby?

[FacesOfFlute]

AIBU re panicking?

My baby is 5 weeks old.

I took him in the bath earlier and stupidly when I sat up let a small bit of water get in his mouth. He spluttered a bit and wasn't happy with me (and I'm still suffering from mum guilt and beating myself up over this!).

He's now asleep on me, and has been asleep since 2pm. He never usually sleeps longer than 2 hours. He's been asleep for 5, other than to feed. He's very croaky as just seems exhausted.

I'm coming up with all these scenarios in my head where him inhaling a tiny bit of water is causing his tiredness and is going to end in him being unwell.

I'm completely catastrophising and I'm sick with worry over I'm not sure what...

AIB ridiculous?

Totally normal, especially after your experience

Sorry OP, my firstborn comment seems very insensitive. I thi k as someone above said, the hormones have a lot to answer for in the first few weeks.

Just read your post re:your oldest. I am so sorry. Please seek out the professional support you deserve xxx

Oh good lord- I am sorry I trivialised. My first born was also Prem, so probably (as my first post) why I worried so much. Fortunately I can laugh at it now- but I did not realise what you had went through so I am v v sorry.
It will get easier and you will feel less anxious.

very sorry too
I was projecting.
Babies are so up and down for the first couple of months. Best of luck op xx

It will be totally fine.

And it's pretty normal to be a bit ridiculous!

There was an ace thread on here once where someone was getting really worried about getting air in the sterilised bottles.

It's quite something to have such a tiny little thing to look after.

Oh I'm so sorry OP I didn't see your update.

It’s okay OP, little one will be fine. Sorry for the loss xXx
