Have you ever had a baby die?

SIDS........so they say that the sheets or the bed did it. I have done so much research that it's unbelievalble what they want to think is the truth. All it takes is a little research and a little education to figure out that it's not because the rich mother smoked, the poor mother was not a meat eater or the fact that someone that is so healthy that they can't pinpoint what happened. It doesn't matter if you didn't smoke or did. It doesn't matter if you are poor or rich. It doesn't matter if you are 25 or 35. Get the point that your baby needs an immune system. They only get SOME of the antibodies from the mom if she breast feeds. The rest, the baby gets from being in the world around people, places and things. But yet they still insist on giving a child shots at such a young age. Would you give a cancer patient a shot of a live virus??? I didn't think so. Then why would you listen to someone telling you when to give your child the same thing. I wait until my children are two years old. And that's because I don't want to walk into my childs room and find them dead at 5 months old again. Educate yourself before you have to. God bless and ciao for now.

Sorry to hear of your loss. I can't imagine your pain. My prayers are with you. I have 5 beautiful children. I have never lost a child to Sids. But, it scared me. My children always slept in the bassinet next to my bed and I always slept with one hand on their back. I never really understood why SIDS happened. I think you make a valid point .Vaccinations could very well be the reason. It makes more sense than the other stuff I read.

I can only say that my prayers and thoughts are with you for your loss. My wife and I understand, we have an 16 month old son and we were so watchful for SIDS. But I never connected that aspect to it. We put him through the whole shot process like our doctor advised... We will rethink that if we have another child.
