Girls, I have such a problem: whenever something happens to the baby, specifically when he gets sick (fever, weakness), I start feeling guilty, thinking that it was my negligence, and I begin to really stress out. How can I overcome this anxiety? 🥹

Dear, it's important to remember that illnesses in children are a natural occurrence that doesn't always depend on our attention and care. Your anxiety and feelings of guilt can be understandable, but it's important not to dwell on them too deeply.
Firstly, remember that you are doing everything possible to care for your little one, and that is very important. Instead of blaming yourself, focus on what you can do for their recovery - consult a doctor, follow their recommendations, and provide comfort and care.
Secondly, find ways to relieve stress and anxiety - this could be through meditation, yoga, walking outdoors, or spending time with loved ones. It's important to take care of your own emotional well-being to be strong and supportive for your child.
And remember, you are not alone in your feelings - many parents experience anxiety and guilt in similar situations. Be kind to yourself and remember that you are doing everything possible for your child.
"Be glad that you have a healthy child who adequately responds to the numerous viruses we encounter daily. His immunity is reacting appropriately. If a virus penetrates, the body 'expels' it, and we see signs of this fight. We cannot fully protect our children, as much as we sometimes wish to. Nor should we. They need to live in the real world, not under a bell jar. What we can do, however, is help the body in this fight - by toughening it up, providing proper nutrition, fostering development, and keeping the mucous membranes moist, etc."
I agree with the comment above, there are people whose immune system doesn't react and they never get a fever. That's bad.
And yes, it's normal for a child to get sick. And it's normal that you're getting worked up and worried. But know this - the calmer you are, the calmer the child will be, and somehow the illness passes more easily. Force yourself to switch off the negativity 🥹 there's no other way.
Take magnesium. Leave [the child] with the father for the weekend so you can rest and stop worrying. Everyone needs a break now and then. You are not the center of the universe. Give yourself some time to rest and let dad spend the WHOLE DAY with the child!
