i co slept with each of my children and was lucky that nothing happened. I do not sleep soundly with young children in the bed. Even when my 4 year old grand daughter crawls into my bed, I still do not sleep soundly. Never sleep with a child if you do sleep soundly or something has happened to make you sleep deeply.

I have a newborn and a two year old to chase after. I think I’ll be back to pre pregnancy weight in no time.

Babies who are breastfed are at as much risk or perhaps even more as your baby may fall asleep while feeding or you could go to sleep while your baby is still feeding.

Co-sleeping is safe, if you follow the safe co-sleep guidelines. One of those is for the baby to co-sleep with the breastfeeding mother.

that would be horrible but another reminder that co-sleeping just isn’t safe.

Heartbreaking I can’t even begin to imagine their devastation.

Poor baby it’s very sad may he Rest In Peace

Four week old baby is too small I think for co-sleeping.

This is so sad and so hard on the parents. I have done this and now realise I must had been lucky when I did it. My children were never between us but on the edge of the bed in my arms. Having my time over again I would never do this. It is so easy to happen, you are tired , late at night maybe and bam you are asleep.

Bawled my eyes out reading this. Rest In Peace little one!

Aw bless, so sad !

How horribly sad, R.I.P. little one

Omg that poor family. Co sleeping freaks me out. I didn’t sleep in the same bed with my first until she was almost 2, my 2nd I did it once on her first night while I was still waiting for my milk to come in. But I think I only slept for about an hour total that night because I was so paranoid about potentially suffocating or crushing her.

So sad I can’t imagine this kind of pain. For parents it seems you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t. Everything has risks, and unfortunately people lose babies no matter where they’re sleeping – cot or bed.

So very sad and heartbreaking – the poor bub and the parents. They will have this grief forever.

Poor little bubba. A terrible accident but it could have been so easily avoided.

Absolutely tragic my heart goes out to them

Aww poor little bubba, thoughts are with his family.

Such a tragedy for the whole family.
Maybe when the baby was having so much difficulty breathing it may have been more serious than just a cold too. One of the ladies I worked with has a girl who when she was only weeks old had what the Dr. thought was only a cold. A few weeks later she got another one and was struggling to breathe even more. That time the Dr. ordered an Xray. It showed that she had definitely had pneumonia.

Particularly sad when it’s so clear they took good care of their children.
