What causes SIDS..? It's a fear of mine 😔😔

Not even drs know what causes it. but still give you ways to prevent suffocation.. @rockysmommy

SIDS can happen anytime before 2yrs. it'll always be a worry.

omg yes im worried about it too especially that im a new mom :(

@momwife1316, @navywifej it just scares me I don't wanna lose my baby boy 😭😭

you can worry your little heart out but it won't prevent it. I just didn't get any sleep for a while lol always checking on my daughter. watching her chest rise & fall at night. lol and always made sure she didn't sleep with blankets, pillows or rolled over on her tummy in her sleep. its definitely hard to overcome that fear but you'll give yourself more anxiety than a new mom needs. get a binky.. they say those can help. I gave my daughter one and will be giving my son one if theres no confusion between nipple and binky. @rockysmommy

@rockysmommy, I am the same way, I always pray pray pray before bed for my baby girl, and did the same for my son (I still do even tho is is 2 1/2) I also pray for all you mamas and your children..... I don't ever want to see a post like that

I've seen two already and they make me heart broken! And I do worry a lot I'll make sure not to put anything in the crib or bassinet and give them a pacifier to help! @momwife1316 @sarahdrew

@momwife1316, so its best to leave them without a blanket while asleep?

@navywifej, I've heard that before to not give them a blanket.

i see, ill definitely look more into it to be on the safer side @rockysmommy

@navywifej, swaddling is ok but extra blankets they say not to use

my boyfriends daughter passed of SIDS and the doctor told them they are now thinking it may be inevitable if its going to happen like there is some little tiny piece of their brain or something that it missing something but he said they were still researching it but i dont believe that! we won't be letting our son sleep with a blanket, stuffed animal, a pillow, or on his belly and we are also giving him a binky. we're also buying an oxygen monitor once it gets closer to time and buying a co sleeper to attach to the bed. The child development class says i took taught us that they just literally forget to breathe they get in too deep of a sleep so were gonna try everything possible even if i have to wake him up every two hours no matter how peaceful he looks! lol it such a scary thing when my boyfriend tells me the story of when he last saw her it makes me cry!

look into the owelet monitor!!! it's super pricey, but definitely seems to be worth it! also, you and your SO should take infant cpr classes in case you wake up and baby isng breathing... follow all the SIDS prevention tips.. No, It won't guarantee that you're baby will be 100% safe, but it will help you feel a little better knowing ypuve tried everything possible to prevent SIDS.

Having a fan on in the room and breastfeeding is said to drastically lower the risked SIDS. Also sleeveless sleep sacks are helpful if your baby doesn't like swaddling.

@carterclaytonb, I always sleep with a fan but I was gonna turn it off when the baby got here, should I leave it on?

It circulates the air so it's not stagnant. As long as baby's not too cold I'd leave it on. We had a ceiling fan when my first son was born and we left it on and he was fine. And we have a little fan that were planning on keeping on when baby is sleeping this time around.

Well I have a box fan so is that the same as long as I keep it on low? @carterclaytonb

Yea. Just anything that circulates the air in the room works
