Mother who lost her son
What do you guys think about the FB post of the mother who lost her son at 7 months the other day due to a blanket in the crib?
My son is attached to his blankets. My mom bought him mini breathable silk ones, its too small he wouldn't even be able to wrap it around his neck, so that's what I give him now as his security blanket. He still has another bigger thicker one but I always keep an eye on him, I have my monitor. Most of the time he just removes it though so he doesn't sleep with it at all, but everytime I get a chance I watch the monitor to see what he's up to! He's 7 month also.
Dd is 20 months old and has slept with a blanket since about 6 months. Now I'm even more paranoid but I think has a lot to do with the poor baby pulling it through the railing.
Ds started sleeping with his blanket at about 5 months old. But then again we bed share. Only him and i. And i would constantly wake up and make sure the blanket wasnt ever in his face. Hes 2.5 now and still sleeps with it.
Baby number 2 is due any day now and reading all this stuff about what happened to this womans baby makes me paranoid. I've had to start "hiding" posts from people sharing it all over fb. I dont wanna read it about anymore. Its awful.
I read it on the news site here, with the caption about the heartless anti-vax groups posting to her saying it was due to vaccines. It was after the messages from them she posted the comment pp has copied over. This is such a heartbreaking situation. Shame on the anti-vaxers who messaged her. Grubs do it to people so often and it's quite frankly just disgusting.
I also read that they put him to bed with two blankets and one somehow got stuck in the railing. It's so terribly sad... especially because I have a 7 month old myself and i can't even begin to imagine how they feel.
My question is, however, how did nobody check on him until 9:48am? Do they not use a monitor? How could he be alone for so long? Maybe I'm overprotective because I'm a FTM but we recently moved my son into his own room and I watch him like a hawk on the monitor all night. He also still wakes up a couple times a night because he's teething/nursing.
Just so so sad. My heart goes out to that family.
This is the post that I saw.
"To those who keep commenting and messaging trying to blame vaccines for our sons death- stop. Initially I had not wanted to explain the detailed circumstances of his death because of my guilt and the fear of condemnation from others. But I will not allow anyone to try and place blame where it does not belong.
He was last laid down to bed with this blanket made by his great-great grandmother, and one other blanket, a grey one he had been attached to since birth. They took the grey one he had been found with his head in. He had pulled it through the crib rails somehow and gotten himself stuck in it. You never think it will happen to you. You never think it will be your baby. Please do not put your babies to bed with a blanket. Please. He was 7 months old, I thought because he was crawling, standing on his own, and climbing, that he would be fine with a blanket. This is the face of immense, unfathomable grief, the face of longing, of heartbreak, of self inflicted GUILT. I will NEVER stop feeling responsible. I will relive this for the rest of my life knowing EXACTLY what I could have done differently. Please learn from my world shattering mistake."
I think no parent should lose a child. It's awful.
I also think, from being in various groups where some followed her, her story has changed a few times. I've seen some say she originally posted something else and then took it down & reposted about the blanket. Idk. I didn't see it.
Ultimately, I just think it's awful and I pray I never have to know what they're going through feels like.
I read it. I'm confused because the first time I read it I thought she put him in bed with two blankets. And he pulled it around the crib bars and that's how he got tangled up in it, but when I re read it it seemed like he pulled it through the bars and he didn't have it to begin with. Either way I read it and it made me cry and take my sons blanket away. But my sons only 10 months. If he was over a year I would let him keep it. I just assumed since he could crawl and cruise and climb he was fine. But now I'm second guessing myself. I feel horrible for them. I couldn't imagine the pain and suffering this loss is brought upon them. ❤️
As a mother of a child with special needs I am absolutely disgusted by the woman on here who suspiciously began posting pictures of her child recently...seemed too showy like he was on display.
Confirmed stolen. She’s not the mother.
Why would a mother call her own son a thug ....
So my fiancé ex, who is his baby mother is annoying af and I hate her. Anybody else hate their bf or fiancé baby mother?
Does a mom who
takes her child with her to meet her drug dealer and get pills deserve her children? A mother who drives high while her child is in the car? A mother who fell asleep on the very first day of school and forgot about her child while he sat in the office waiting? A mother who always tells her child she is going to do something, but never does? A mother who willingly signed her rights over to the child's father without even reading the papers? Does she deserve him?
So ladies I don't know if you remember on here there was a girl who lost her little boy called archer who died from SIDS?? I just found her on Instagram to discover it wasn't her child it was in fact her nephew?????? I've looked for her on here but she seems to delete her page I don't know if it's because anyone else found out she was lying but I'm literally GOBSMACKED as she wrote a blog and everything about it? Please tell me I wasn't the only deceived by this??
I did not see this story yet. I feel for the family and my thoughts and prayers go out to them.
My dd is 15 months and she still rarely gets a blanket. If I do give her one it's tucked in tightly around her belly area and it's a thin breathable one. That's only if she falls asleep in something that may be chilly for her. I try to dress her according to the temp inside so she doesn't need a blanket.
