My wife and I just had our first baby last July and we were constantly checking on him at night afraid of SIDS.

Sending good positive energy to the baby's parents who must be heartbroken 🙁

I can't imagine the pain of dealing with this kind of senseless death. Losing a child has to be the most horrible experience anyone can go through. Bless this family and give them the courage and supprt they need to deal with this.
