COT DEATH

cot death

my newly married cousin just lost her nephew he passed away in his sleep. my instant thoughts - COT DEATH

Its a syndrome that babies pass away in their sleep due to unsufficient levels of oxygen. many times we read on those warning labels on US baby products. US babies are encourage to be swaddled instead of sleeping on thier tummies

somthing i bet they learned from asian babies.

i never thought of it as missy never slept on her tummy. but seriously look at her bed... its a safety hazard... all those toys and pillows would succumb her anytime. But do i move it away..NO. maybe because i would think her lungs would be robust enough by now. but strings..YES that i would clear.

Sadly i was watching the documentary on inventions. One guy is trying to make the doctor sensors (that you stick to the body to get your heartbeat and so on) wireless and for home use. This way parents can montior their oxygen level and alarm will go off should he lack oxygen in his blood. Watching it on TV you thought it could have saved her nephew. but how long will it take to arrive our market. even that would parents think it would be neccessary. coz these babies who died tragically are not sick. they are healthy babies who never woke up. would i buy? i didnt even buy a baby monitor!

We just have to be weary and alway pray to HIM for good health. As for now i can only sumbangkan AL FATIHAH to the nephew whom i dont even know his name.
