Not that Ive been around long, as i used to be a part of this site, but I have something to ask: Why, for the love of any divine power, Do we not know what causes Sudden Infant Death Syndrome? Or how to prevent it? My Son was perfectly healthy when I put him to bed, and when i tried to wake him in the morning, he wasn't breathing. Why isnt there any progress?
I really don't have an answer to your question but I just want to let you know how sorry I am about your son. Some things in life are just not and fair and somethings just remain an unfortunate mystery.
I am sorry for your loss. A cousin of mine lost her little boy this same way in the sixties. More money towards research should be spent to invesitigate the causes.
My dear sister, I am absolutely heartbroken to hear of your loss. When my children were infants, I worried nonstop about SIDs until they were out of the "high risk" phase of early infancy. There are a lot of suggestions to reduce the possibility and risk factors concerning SIDs, but sometimes, no matter how cautious we are, things still can happen unexplainably and there really is no answer. I'm so sorry... {{{Hugs}}}
Thank you all for your compassion. I am trying to upload a photo of the two of them together,but the gallery wont cooperate. He was such a bright boy. He would sing and talk, not in words of course, but his smile and his eyes, and his projectile vomit.... I miss everything about him so much!
I somtimes think the old ways of keeping our children in our rooms or beds until they are old enough to sleep in a bed by themselves may be the best solution.
There is some research to show that co-sleeping dramatically reduces the risks of SIDS. Google it you will find some intresting information. It is believed the the infant being able to touch his mother during sleep reduces stress & risks for SIDS. They even make co-sleeper cribs now that you attach to your bed...so baby has his own safe space but you can still touch him & be near him.
ALways made me wonder why a child needs to loose thier life so early into when there are perfectly acceptable pieces of trash allowed to live and breath. Sorry for your loss, I know no amount of words can ever fill that void your feeling right now.
