A distressed mother on Reddit’s “beyondthebump” subreddit shared a terrifying experience after accidentally muting her baby monitor. Returning home around 11 p.m., she assumed her 6-month-old was sound asleep and muted the monitor to avoid waking her husband.

The next morning, she discovered her baby had shifted positions uncomfortably during the night. Panicked, she realized the monitor had been muted, leaving her oblivious to any disturbances. Reddit users reassured her, emphasizing that one incident wouldn’t harm their relationship. While she felt remorseful, others encouraged her to learn from the mistake, accepting accidents happen in parenting.
