I have a massive anxiety about my little one. He’s 11 weeks old now. I’m fearing all the time that something will happen to him. Now I have to drive first time on my own to the hospital and I’m feeling horrific. Can you please tell me nothing will happen to him while I’m driving ? He has reflux as well so that would keep me on my toes. I live on the edge. Help.

Yes definitely a mirror! Don’t worry! Because that’s so normal! I had the most wild irrational thoughts and fears when we first brought our boy home. Thinking some wild things. I also have high anxiety so I get it! I promise this is all so completely normal. He will definitely be okay.

My son has reflux too and I still have a fair bit of anxiety with him (he is almost 5 months). Do you have a mirror or camera in the car to make driving alone easier? Before installing them in my car I got out several times per trip and checked his breathing lol.
I totally get the anxiety, but realistically they should be fine. It's such a small amount of babies that something bad happens, and if you're taking all necessary precautions, the likelihood it will happen to yours is teeeny tiny. I had to give myself the same pep talk
The anxiety doesn't go away but it does lessen over time. You've got this and you're doing great!

Thank you everyone ! Yes we’ve got the mirror. I drove with him yesterday and it was fine. He cried in a car seat a lot though so I’m thinking it could be the heat? We use egg 2 car seat.
And gosh these irrational thoughts hit really hard. For me is so bad that I have counselling. Just started it.
