FTM's guilt and worries

Hi Mummies, am a FTM who just gave birth one month ago.. Been latching, pumping etc and I got so tired I missed alarms for night pump several times. Yesterday, missed my alarm to wake bb up for night feed and bb didn't wake up either - ended up feeding almost 7 hours later :( Today, bb suddenly regurgitated milk out from her mouth and nose. Though it wasn't a lot; it shocked me so much. I feel so guilty as a mom.. I wish I know how to handle things properly..

Its okay mummy. It happens. If its a one time thing trust me, it wont affect bb. And the fact he can sleep thru that 7 hours instead of crying his lungs out is still ok. And would be good to ask your hubby for help. For me as i went thru csect and on the strongest painkiller im literally in and out of sleep so hubby does most of the night feed! Till now 14m pp he does night feeds(if any, cs sometimes bb sttn).
