what a sad mistake that could happen so easily. it is hard to get through night time feeds and its very sad that she experienced that.

I know a few Mums who have done this. A few have been in warm weather with no loose covers of any type on the bed.
Some say you shouldn’t put a baby in a stroller to sleep either.

Such a tragedy that this Mum will have to live with for the rest of her life. I hope no-one criticizes her. I think she is doing enough to herself. I’m so sorry for your loss Kristin and I think you are a very strong woman to share this story and try to make other Mum’s aware. Sending big hugs and prayers to you and your family

So sad I couldn’t read it all but I got the gist. How awful for the family – you are just SO fatigued with a newborn. Safety safety safety , it’s articles like this that remind us we need to be vigilant.

Very sad story- I never tried to breast feed my kids to sleep so would always sit up and put them back in their own beds awake. It’s the safest and best way to form a good routine.

Devastating! My heart breaks for this family.

How very very sad for this mother and her family. It always shocks me how one simple wrong decision can lead to a lifetime of regret.

I am so sad to hear of this, RIP little one and thoughts to the family.

Heartbreaking indeed. This happens so easily ! I always fed while sitting up in bed or in a chair, but remember the times I fell asleep whilst feeding. One time I woke up with a shock, my baby was laying on the floor crying, dropped out of my arms whilst feeding…

  That must have been a very scary moment!!

So sad for this family, it does not take much for this to happen. My thoughts are with this family and others who have had this happen.

So very sad to read about mum losing her baby this way. We always encouraged breastfeeding sitting up in bed or in a chair. Try not to co-sleep in bed but have the baby’s cot in the same room with parents. Hope family is receiving counselling.

So sad to read this – the mother will never forgive herself.

so heartbreaking. My heart goes to this poor mum.

This is so heartbreaking ???? this poor mother and then to be charged with homicide. That’s so awful. My heart goes out to her and her family x

So sad xxxxxxa new butterfly in the sky xxxx

This is so terribly sad for everyone involved.

Oh, so sad. Poor little child. And how is this mom ever going to put this memory aside? 🙁

This poor mum – she should not feel shame. It is an absolute tragedy and will stay with her forever – such a terrible loss. So brave of her to share – I hope she received love and support – she will punish herself more than any words from anyone.

Poor family. So many people co-sleep from sheer exhaustion, and that’s dangerous.

Its always so much sadder when its something that was avoidable. What a heartbreaking accident.
