[quote=Anonymous]Oh my goodness to the poster whose baby stopped breathing at 8 days old and mother could restart the breathing!  I'm sure she lost about 10 years on her life in those few minutes.  And couldn't sleep for a few days, literally STARING at that baby - and got a SIDS monitor, and all kinds of other things.  Poor woman!  Glad that baby is fine and a child now!

There are many young babies who "forget to breathe" and therefore stop and therefore who could die if they don't start breathing.  So hitting and trying to restart that baby is critical.  This is why some people say a baby should co-sleep in a co-sleeper (not in your bed) - because the baby will mimic the parents' rhythmic breathing and learn how to breathe outside the womb (where they weren't breathing, they were floating in fluid).  That's a theory - there are plenty of other babies (including myself) who slept all their lives in a crib and we're fine!

Anyway, I'd just thank my lucky stars for OP's nanny - she's not crazy, anxious or have whatever.  She's being extra careful with a 3 month old.  Once the baby is older she'll stop this, but then there will be less concern (not no concern, but less) with forgetting to breathe, etc.

And oh my goodness to the nanny whose child had a seizure and she witnessed it during nap.  Again, having an on-the-ball nanny is important, don't question when you have one! [/quote]
