What were some of your silliest worries when you first had children that you don't even think twice about now?

Question

I had a friend who freaked out and called her Pediatrician because her 10 month old ate some Honey Nut Cheerios LOL....she was worried about the "honey" and the "nuts" (because of all the literature that states a baby under 1 year shouldn't have them).

Answer 1

I remember being really, really  worried that my son slept a lot when he was a newborn.  When I talked to my mom about my concerns she laughed and told me she had the same exact worry when I was born.  She had asked my pediatrician about it (as I did at my son's next appointment) and he said "consider yourself lucky!" (the same sentiments of my son's pedi!)

Answer 2

Them falling out of bed

Answer 3

My mom was afraid of something happening to my nails.

Then my big toe-nail got ripped off.

Answer 4

dying while asleep

them not loving me

not being able to raise them right

Answer 5

When they'd fall asleep in a swing or bouncy seat and I'd want to move them to crib so they'd 'sleep better'.  They would always wake up when I moved them.  I asked the pediatrician how to keep them from waking up and he seriously looked at me and said ' don't move them'.  :)

Answer 6

I was really worried that we wouldn't be able to afford a baby.  But you just make it work.

Answer 7

That it would look cuter than me and get more attention.

Answer 8

I cut my first child's nail to low and it started to bleed and I called the doctor frantic!  

HEhehehe,  I don't call now unless there is a really high temp AND they are acting sad!

Those nurses at the doctors office must be angels with that much patience:)
