Such a tragic outcome – but can happen so easily with very tired parents also needing sleep

Poor man. What a terrible thing to live with. Accidents like this are just so sad.

An accident like this changes their lives for the worse. So sad

What a terrible tragic accident with detrimental outcome for a family at what should have been a joyous time in their lives. My condolences to them.

That’s so sad. An innocent mistake that he has to live with forever

This is so tragic. Many babies sleep on their parents chests I’d imagine.

It’s a sad story a really big loss

Such a preventable tragedy. This young man must be feeling tremendous guilt. I feel so sorry for all of them.

So sorry to read this,it must be very hard to live with.

Aw bless, so sad.
This can happen to all of us indeed.
I remember once i was breastfeeding my son, while I was sitting up I fell asleep. My son dropped somewhere during that feed out of my arms. Luckily we had carpet, so he didn’t fall hard, but he could have fallen face down…

Oh how sad is this. So easy to happen when you’re a new parent and exhausted

This is my ultimate fear, those poor parents. I hope their knowledge reaches other parents.

So sad, it’s so hard when you are so sleep deprived.

This is so sad to read and heartbreaking for dad who will mdber forgive himself.

I understand the temptation to do this, but it’s so dangerous.

That’s so sad. I feel sorry for both Parents.

So tragic ..my heart goes out to these parents. RIP SWEET little Lucas.
So very important to know the current sleeping and safety and use them always.
I remember way back when ..when my daughter was born and was unsettled the nurse actually putting my daughter in bed with me and telling me to have a nap with bub as we both need it. To be honest my daughter calmed, settled and slept but I stayed awake and constantly aware she was next to me.

Very sad situation. I don’t like co sleeping for this reason.

Seems to happen a lot, but not as often as patents who sleep with their babies. I was encouraged to co sleep with my daughter when she was first born. I would never have allowed my partner to co sleep with the kids though as he was a heavy sleeper
