I lost my son Tyler 15weeks old 06/04/2007. The Coroner said it was SIDS. My son was healthy,happy and well cared for and yet he was taken in a flash with no actual reason / cause.
My son was sleeping in his Moses basket and nothing was covering his face he didnt die from being to warm he didnt choke we dont smoke and yet he still died. I have been told that there is no acctual reason for SIDS and only advice about steps to try and prevent SIDS but then i was told that there is no prevention as there is no known cause there is just percautions !!! i cant sleep thinking about it how can my baby just die no known reason just because it was his time apperently it makes me sad and mad how can we come to terms with let alone move on without this closure. Sorry if i seem i am ranting i have never been apart of a group online or otherwise. I only just now feel able to even write about SIDS about Tyler. I suffer with depression, anxiety and insomnia i dont know who i am anymore or whats real it feels like i am just waiting for my life to end to be with my son SIDS didnt just take away my son it took away everything i am evrything i had and the future i wanted it literally has broken my heart.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
He had a full autopsy and they can't find anything. The blood and tissue samples came back normal. How can this be. I'm left with all these unanswered questions. I have 2 older boys aged 4 and 2. I miss him terribly and live with a lot of guilt.
I feel your loss and hope somehow somewhere we will find peace.
I know you will always miss him but I hope one day you can find peace in your heart.
