Is it normal to be afraid your child is going to die in their sleep?

Too afraid to sleep
Kelly s asked:


I know it’s irrational, but my daughter is 6 months old. I can’t sleep because I’m so afraid I’ll sleep and she wont be awake when I wake up. There are times I’ll touch her just to make sure she is awake. Is this normal? Will it pass?
