First baby, first few weeks were nerve wracking! hehehehe
they would sleep so deeply and you never know if they are still breathing. I used to put my face very near his nose just so i can feel him breathing. Takes a while getting used to really. I welcomed his cries for feeding all night long just to take away this fear.

i used to freak out about germs, esp after SARS. i would carry spray around for my hands. whenever i touch somewhere public, I'd spray my handsd.
one time we were on a plane & my helper & I wiped down all 3 seats back & front & everywhere around the seat with Chlorox wipes, (u'd be surprised, how dirty they are) while my husband carried my daughter. there was a man seating next to us watching, i smiled at him apologetically & he said, "wow, you guys are really clean". he must thought i had the impulsive cleaning problem!! LOL

i often check on the baby to make sure he's breathing. He's 10 months now and I still do that.

I was so scared that she wouldnt grow as much as other kids do (physically and mentally). Then I was so scared that she doesnt get enough nutrition

My biggest worry was if she was too cold or too hot. I didn't know whether to turn on the aircon or not and would fuss around changing the temperature al the time!
Breathing would come second.

My baby girls cried a lot last night after a jab. Then she suddenly fell asleep..a deep sleep...she didn't move a bit even I tried to wake her. There was one moment I thought she's not breathing right...and that scared the hell out of me...

My biggest fear was that he would never learn to sleep well - I was so tired!!! Now he sleeps from 7.30pm-7am!!!
