How many moms here experienced a loss from SIDS? I feel like I see it all the time on the boards, is…

Keep the room not too hot and not too cold, have a fan going in the room for better air circulation, no blankets or pillows in the crib, don't leave bibs on babies. , always lay baby on their backs , no bumper pads on crib

my bff had this Happen to her Sooo sad

@littlemissemma6915, 👍🏽

cigarette smoke and even the smell of smoke on their clothes will bother babies. Incase someone smokes. there are 4000 different chemicals in cigarettes and with it on clothes the baby breath it in. But as a medical worker and my mom being a nurse, there is no real thing that causes it. I don't let my boys sleep on their back cuz they have choked while on their backs. I also have bumper pads cuz my boys had gotten lil scratches on their heads from hitting the crib so I put the pads up. They are strong enough to turn their head so they don't put their face against it. I know what people believe but even my boys pediatrician agrees with what I am doing. But besides all that, that's just what works for us. But look up cigarette smoking, I told the boys dad about it cuz he smokes. I am trying to get him to quit if he is gonna be around them. Again not wanting a debate lol just expressing what works for me and my boys. 😆😆

@misserinc, I lost my son in 2008 to SIDS. he was a very healthy baby. we did all the requirements to.try and prevent it..sad thing is it can just happen no matter how careful you are. there are monitors out there you can buy to let you know if the baby stopped breathing. we bought it for our youngest and will for this one due may.

☹️☹️ How old was he? @mam426

@theredheadchic, he was 3 months days old. I will always remember the day like it was yesterday. Only good thing about it is, he passed while home with dad and brother (whom was 2 years old at the time).

I'm so sorry that happened to u 😢 @mam426

@twinmamma2015, @littlemissemma6915 you guys lost children as well?

It seems like there are so many recommendations but some times it just happens so unexpectedly and randomly

no I haven't, I've miscarried but I haven't lost a baby. It scares me everyday though.

@mam426, I am so sorry.. It seems like it happens to without warning and sometimes for no reason

@theredheadchic, thanks all we do is take one day at a time. we even let our boys talk about their brother even our youngest even though he never met him. he does know about him and seen pictures of him. we even made them. he is our Angel..

@twinmamma2015, it's a fear for me too.

@misserinc, thanks. ya it's very sad it can just happen. at least he was home with dad and brother (at the time he was 2). he is our Angel. the coroner even told us he was a very healthy baby. it never gets easier over time. just take one day at a time..

All you can do is just take it one day at a time and just do your best for them. I got super scared cuz the boys have always been stuffy and finally they werent! but cuz they weren't stuffy they weren't noisy while breathing when they were asleep, I actually moved them to make sure they were ok! thankfully they were! but still scared me. my mom said that's part of being a good parent is you constantly worry. worry about the decisions you make, and worry about what they're doing and if they're ok while they're sleeping etc....
