I lost my precious Nathan at four months to what we were told was "witness SIDS". An extremely rare situation where baby is awake and stops breathing with no known cause as to why.. I struggle every day with his loss as he was with a babysitter. He passed in January and I am now around 10 weeks pregnant and anxious yet overjoyed. I know baby Nathan would want me to continue my role as mommy I...

I lost my princess on 24th March 2017 from SIDS.  It is an unfair and cruel diagnosis. Without a discovery as to why this occurs, I cannot prove whether a dump fire in my neighborhood was the cause of her death or not. On Thursday 23rd March, the smoke in our area was unbelievable and it is not by chance she would be dead the next day. We must do something to shed light on the causes of SIDS. 

I lost my son Steven in April of 1999, he passed away at babysitters home and he was born on Feb 4, 1999 he died at 2 months of age. And there's never a day I don't think of him and blame myself of leaving him there. God is good and he has given me strength and faith to keep moving on, I have a 33yr old and 3 grandsons yes blessed.

lost my 2 month old daughter to sids. woke up to her gone. and I think the worse thing I have read and been told, is that it's not preventable, it's not detectable. and once it happens there's not chance on getting your child back. sitting in the hospital room, and the doctors came out, couldn't say one word. just looked at me and shook their heads. going home and living the past 7 months without...

After my Chloe passed away three weeks ago, although such thinking won't do anything to bring Chloe back, my husband and I were trying hard to figure out if there were chance for us to save Chloe if we monitor her every minute and awake her once we find out something is wrong. We talked to state medical examiner and he said there is no way to save a SIDS baby once it starts, even we monitor her...

My son was 4 months old when he had near sids, he is now 2 years old. Its hard to think that the years with him have gone by fast. I try to live every day as if its my last with him, all the bad story's i hear about how peoples kids survive sids and everything goes right and they wake up one morning to find out that he is gone. I have not slept in my own bed since my son came home, i really don't...

Friday seemed pretty fine and i though that we as a family are recovering well. Bang.Saturday morning hit me like a head on collusion. I woke up early in the morning and started staring at the place where my Sons bouncer used to be placed. Flood of tears, feeling of guilt and face of my lovely boy were moving like a tornado in my head. It stayed like this for an hour or so until my wife woke...

In July, 2006, my son was diagnosed with "interrupted SIDS" after he died in my father's arms. I am sure you have never heard of that diagnosis...that is because it is so very rare. He was 10 weeks old, a perfectly healthy baby boy. I am passionate about finding the answer to SIDS. I will never forget the agony I felt when the doctors told me that they had done all they could do for my child but...

I have explained to him what SIDS is, and every once in a while he...
