8 weeks old baby boy died of cotdeath

[lilsmum]

my friends sister in laws 8 week old baby died of cot death on sat night...its so sad. they went to give him a bottle at 2am he wasnt breathing. tried to resusitate him but was DOA at hospital.he was such a happy little thing too cant stop thinking about it and i naively thought it was smaller babies maybe that are more likely but he was 10lb 3oz when born.it is so shocking when you hear of these things happening.

so sad... love to them all xx

very sad news. cot death is so cruel

so tragic loves and hugs to all

how awful for them. so sad

How awful.
Must admit when DD was born i just used to sit and watch her sleeping to make sure she was OK. and whenever i did fall aslepp i would wake up at least every hour to check on her - still do now.

Can't begin to imagine how they must be feeling

. How awful.

OMG i have a 5mth old and its the thing you wake up every night fearing this will happen. best wishes to anyone going through this
xx

I still check my 2 are breathing every night before I go to sleep and if I am up first I go in and make sure they are OK, they are 4 & 7. I can't begin to imagine what they are going through, its heartbreaking.

this is heart wrenching.

Have just been through this ourselves, the furnal was yesterday. Hopee you are ok. Love and hugs

{({({(

Oh mieow thats dreadful, love and hugs to you

. Big Hugs.

I cant begin to describe how it makes me feel everytime i see a thread about this - its that horiible sad, scared feeling. We have had it on our minds ever since it happened to mieow's friend the other week. Does anyone know what age they are 'safe' from this happening? DS is 5months and DD is 3 and I still check on them both in the night! How did it go yesterday mieow - did you manage to get to go with her?
(((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))

sorry if I confused anyone then, our friend lost her 6 month baby two weeks ago.

ZC no I didn't manage to go, there was noone to look after the kids. DH went and he said it was a lovely service. He went to my other friend's baby's grave because I asked him to go there too.

sorry too mieow, I'm not up to date with previous threads. My antenatal friend lost her 6 month old 6.5 years ago, it was especially hard that is was a close friend and her son was the same age as my dd. I still think about him now

thanks everyone for the replies.. i too still check dd (10mth) all the time i also have one of those movement detection monitors (did from day one) they are a god send!! if they dont detect breathing for 20 secs a loud alarm goes off (definately my best buy)
i think its from 6 mth they are ok isnt it?! not sure bout that.i cant beleive they still dont know the cause of cotdeath and why it happens.

what i cant believe is my friend said the police were round there on the sun morn taking pics of the cot etc. wouldnt you think they would leave them be for a few days first dont know when the funeral is.

My friends room at the refuge was sealed off, and her other kids taken into care. She is struggling at the mo, because she just wants her boys, but she has to prove herself to Social services. And be rehoused before she can get the kids back.

Just seen this. Just wanted to send love and hugs anlaso to mieow's friend - cannot even begin to magine what they are going through - hope I never will have to find out.

i really dont get why she has to prove herself to SS. her baby dies of natural causes, it wasnt her fault, they should let her have the kids back asap!!

Golds, I know what you mean by its hard when they are a close friend. I meet Em in hospital when we were both admitted at 28 and 33 weeks. I gave birth to DD2 just two weeks after her. Her DS was just 5 months old when he died nearly 3 years ago now. I still think about him too

i'm sorry to hear about your friend as well lilsmum. huge hugs and love sending your way. xx
