I saw this on the news last night, and thought it was interesting. I don't know if anyone on here has been affected by SIDS, but we lost our little girl to SIDS in 1999. I thought it was interesting because our little girl did not have that startle effect that babies have and it really makes me wonder if this is why.

I feel for you with losing your little girl. I lost a little girl in 2001, she was a stillborn due to the anaethesist making a mistake when I went to have a c-section. She overdosed me on the spinal stuff which ended up making me numb from the neck down and this caused my heart to stop and then my baby's heart to stop. They could bring me back but there was nothing they could do for her.

Oh my gosh! That must have been so awful for you, I am so sorry to hear that you lost your little girl that way! I know it is one of the hardest things that a mother has to face is losing a child, and I would not wish that on my worst enemy. I hope that you are doing well now, do you have any other children?

It was awful, there is not a day that goes by where I don't think about her, as I am sure you must be the same. I never thought I would have to bury any of my children until I had to with her. Today is a very hard day for me because she would have been six today. I do have other children. I had 2 boys and a girl before her and I had another boy after her. I feel same as you, I would not wish anything like this on my worst enemy.

I know, their birthdays are hard. I will keep you in my thoughts! We only had an older son, but if it weren't for him, I don't know for sure whether we would have made it through that awful time!

Thank you. That was a very interesting story. My best friend lost her baby to SIDS 15 yrs ago. I have always wondered about the research on it. It so sad when it happens. I feel for you and all the other parents out there. I could not even pretent to imagine how it felt. I was thinking Friday when we buried my 3rd cousin how her mom was feeling having to bury her 35 yr old daughter. Those are feeling I hope I never have to endure.

I know that it is the worst thing in the world that can happen to any parent, because there is no real reason behind it. I hope that this new evidence will provide some answers. I hate hearing of SIDS deaths, I know what it feels like, and I feel for those parents. It is quite a life changing experience, and it is not a pleasant one.
