I always think there is something wrong with my baby

I’m constantly thinking that there is something wrong with my little boy who’s 16months. He’s eating, drinking, plenty of wet and dirty nappies, however if he doesn’t poo for 1 day, I think there’s something wrong. If he’s off his eating for 1 meal, I’m thinking there’s something wrong. If he’s lay differently I think there’s something wrong. He’s currently got a cold - a little cough and very runny nose, even though I know it’s a cold I’m still thinking it’s something way worse and want to get him checked. He was very poorly when he was 3 weeks old and had to go to hospital and have a feeding tube put in for a few days, so I don’t know if it’s because of that I’m so worried over tiny little things. Is this normal to think like this as a first time mum or is my anxiety taking over?

I have 5 kids and honestly some of them I don’t know when they shit last lol. My advice is to take a deep breath mama. If he’s not running high a fever or acting lethargic stick it out with home remedies/over the counter and assess him from home. You’re doing great and I’m sure he’s just fine. Spring gets a lot of pollen in the air and he sounds susceptible. You’re not wrong for being cautious and calling his doctor is always an option to avoid the full visit. Ask for a nurse or my local clinic has a 24/7 nurse advisor if you need that peace of mind Google free nurse advisory near me. X

Hi mama, we are almost 5 months.. im in pretty much similar position. I was never meant to have kids due to a congenital deformity of ny uterus.. but it happened without even trying.. ny pregnancy went all well and had a c section but u was classed as v high risk for miscarriage. But since he was born i became extremely anxious.. not to mention I work in healthcare and I know how to read research which makes things more difficult… my babybis gainif weight and all that , but is supper gassy and trapped wind so i always thunk there is something wrong with .. he wakes uo and screams .. somthing is wrong .. i totally get you … is not something i can control ..but dont forget you are a good mama! X

I don’t know if you’re googling a lot, but if you are, definitely stop.

Self refer yourself to your GP and talk to someone about Anxiety. Certain sounds like PP anxiety. I have it
