One of the more annoying habits of being a new (read: clueless) parent is what I call the Baywatch effect. Every time my lovely wife and I sit down to a meal or have just fallen asleep one of us is struck with a bolt of panic and asks the other: "Do you think he is breathing?" Regardless of the situation this results in general hysteria and one of us stripping down to our bathing suit and racing across the flat to young Achilles, who is of course fast asleep in his crib and taking in oxygen like a surfaced whale.

We're like that. Every night before I go to bed I have to check on my boy. Most of this stems from him being on a monitor for his first 2 months. Suck eh
I still check on Max a few times a night and he's 2. Malia on the other hand snores like a drunk sailor and always had, no need to question whether she's asleep.
