By the way, there is special product that I have rented for the first few months for my second kid. It is a large sensor pad where you place the baby when [s]he sleeps. The pad monitors the breathing and [I think] heart beat and starts alarm when it can't detect it. Do NOT forget to switch it off then you pick up the baby to breastfeed or change diapers ;-).

That would have been so nice - our first baby we did the same thing - always worrying she'd stop breathing at night or something when she didn't wake us up.
Best piece of advice for little babies - SLEEP WHEN THE BABY SLEEPS! Don't be tempted to "finish up that TV show" or whatever. Nap when you can get it
