SIDS Awareness Month: A Personal Story

I was 8 years old when we lost my 3-month-old baby sister. I remember holding my middle sister’s hand as we passed through the hallways of the hospital. We walked into a room, crowded with people - family and friends, all women - who surrounded my mom. She wasn’t crying — she was howling, her pain too intense and horrifying for tears. She pulled me and my sister into the tightest of embraces, and she didn’t let us go as she told us our baby sister was gone.

As a child, it didn’t make any sense to me. One day, my beautiful, bright-eyed sister was there. She was happy, healthy, almost advanced for her age. She smiled and giggled, and we have video footage of her coo-ing the words “hello” back to us, when we would say it to her. It didn’t make sense that she could be gone so suddenly.

After she died, I watched my mother suffer, day after day. She was the one who found my sister, who had died of SIDS, sleeping in her crib during a nap. I worked hard to combat her grief, taking on the role of caretaker for our family. I left my mom love notes daily to encourage her to come out of bed, reminding her that there was still life to be lived with my sister and I. I soaked up every back rub and song my dad gave us at bedtime, knowing that now whenever he kissed us goodnight, or said goodbye, he did it in a manner of sincerity, in case it was the last time.

And I cared for my younger sister. We shared a bed, holding hands whispering secrets to each other until we fell asleep. We became the closest of allies. Later in life, we begged our parents to please have one more baby, and along came my baby brother, who is 12 years younger. I spent the days changing his diapers and swaddling him, tickling him and making him laugh… and at night, I would go into his nursery to check his breathing.

It’s no coincidence that when I grew up, I would become a nurse, caring for new mothers and babies. I wanted to be around women during their pregnancies and in their first weeks home. I think that what happened with my sister cemented in my mind the importance of care and support in young motherhood — love and worry, and sometimes grief, all wrapped together so tightly during this short period of time.

Although I witnessed my parents’ grief at a very young age, it was when I delivered my first baby girl, and held her in my arms, that I could finally even begin to try to understand what my mom had experienced. I will always remember that moment - delivering and holding that baby that you grew inside of you for 9 months. The love and bond is unbreakable, indescribable. It was that first week home from the hospital, in the middle of the night as I held her, that I thought of my mom. And while I will never know the level of agony and pain that she has lived through, for the first time, I understood it.

I became more interested in the loss of my sister and SIDS. What did we know about Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, really? What did the latest research say? What could I do to teach parents about safe sleep and caring for their babies throughout their development; not just sleep, but feeding and bathing and diapering and learning?

Alongside my best friend and business partner, we grew our company NAPS and our online membership Nurture by NAPS. And yes, it’s chock full of education — evidenced-based research and content from real medical experts — who happen to also be moms. But it’s also full of support. Parents can log in to our ask-a-nurse forum, get expert advice within 24 hours, and learn new skills on our weekly live calls. We’ve worked hard to build a judgment-free space that takes parenting worries seriously — all your concerns are real concerns, and there are ways to make things better.

I spend my days talking to moms — just like my mom, just like myself — answering the questions parents are afraid to ask.

My sister’s death is a tragedy that I will carry in my heart for the rest of my days. The pain my mother suffered will be there as well. But when I think about that sweet little baby, I try to see not just the devastating loss, but also the way she changed me; the way her death shaped me into a life-long caregiver. A person who understands how much support can help a new parent. That’s what we hope NAPS is about; helping new parents navigate the worry and fear and love that comes with a new baby. We try to do it with humor and fun, but also understanding and gentleness. Because we understand — we really do. And we’re here to help.

A few alarming products we’ve seen lately

KID works to strengthen, or in some cases establish, strong safety standards for children’s products. We helped pass Danny’s Law in 2008. As a result, cribs, play yards, and bassinets all have strong safety standards and undergo independent testing prior to entering the market. While we are passionate about the safety of all children’s products we pay special attention to those intended for sleeping babies because:

• Our founder’s son Danny died in a sleep product. KID’s work is his legacy.

• Babies are not closely supervised in these products – hopefully parent(s) are getting their own rest or able to focus on other things. So they need strong standards to keep little ones safe.

However, products that are not covered by safety standards are constantly entering the markets. As a result, we are left with products that can be put on the market with little or no safety testing; leaving our most vulnerable consumers to find the flaws. Here are just a few we’ve seen lately – use the comments to show us others you’ve seen.

This cushion is designed to be used in the bed with parents(s) and outside the bed for a variety of activities including: playing, napping, tummy time, massage, bathing, and traveling with babies up to 6 months. We have three main concerns with this product:

• This product doesn’t adhere to any safety standards other than their own track record. The website claims to have a “9 year track record of amazing safety performance.” While this is great, it doesn’t and shouldn’t replace a strong safety standard and adequate testing.

• Like most other sleep positioners, the manufacturer advises parents to always keep baby “well attended” when the product is in use. However, if this is a product that is used for parents to sleep with baby, constant supervision is impossible.

• Lastly, the website advises parents to give the baby a blanket to sleep with in the product. For multiple safety reasons, including suffocation and overheating, babies under 1 year should not sleep with a blanket.

A similar- looking product is the DockATot, another product we are hearing about. The product is designed for children aged 0- 36 months as a multi- functional cushion. While the company advises caregivers to not use the product in a crib or basinet, it is very likely that they will, especially because it is designed as a transition piece for baby. The sides are breathable, but if used in a crib or basinet (or around other non-breathable surfaces) the baby could get caught in the gap between the DockATot and other surfaces. In this way the product very much reminds us of the NapNanny.

Health Canada, the Canadian Public Health Agency, also warns against baby nest products, meaning any product with “small, portable bed for an infant that has soft, padded sides.”

KID’s verdict? Keep baby in a crib, play yard or bassinet that meets the federal safety standard and keep the crib bare. Sharing the room, but not the bed, is a great way to sleep closely but safely.

This product was made in Australia by a mother that envisioned having more time to attend to herself and her family while having a newborn at home. The Comfort Cushion was designed to mimic being held over the shoulder, against the chest position and is complete with vibrations (to mimic heartbeat and womb sounds) and a slight rocking motion design to calm baby. Here are some concerns we have with this product:

• While this is not described as a sleeping device, it is inevitable that babies will fall asleep on this product. However, in the safety reports on the product, it is advised that babies not sleep on the Babo Cush. This leaves parents and caregivers in the awkward position of waking a sleeping baby or leaving baby to sleep on an item not recommended for sleeping.

• Babies are placed on their tummies when using the product, mainly in an effort to combat flat head syndrome. Tummy time is a great way to prevent flat head, but should be done on a firm, flat surface. This combined with the likelihood that a baby will fall asleep in this product and be sleeping on their tummies instead of their back as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics guide to Safe Sleep, leaves us concerned about using this product with babies.

KID’s verdict? Skip this product because the foreseeable use of using this product for infant sleep would be all too possible. Invest in an infant swing for play time instead that meets federal safety standards. But don’t leave a sleeping baby in it — move to a crib.

This swaddle transition product is designed for babies too old to swaddle but still want that cozy and contained feeling while asleep. We appreciate their commitment to safe sleep throughout their website and in regards to the recommendations on using the product. However, we are concerned about baby over-heating when using this product and over–heating is a contributor to SIDS.

KID’s verdict? Stick with lighter wearable blankets.

Goodbye Magic Sleepsuit :(

LO managed to roll over in her Merlin suit. Found this on their website FAQ about not allowing a baby to sleep on their tummy in it. She set off the Angelcare monitor so scary.

If my baby has started to roll over in the Magic Sleepsuit, should I transition him/her out of it?

Yes. The Magic Sleepsuit is designed for back sleeping in the crib. It is not to be used for tummy sleeping. If your baby has started to roll over in the Magic Sleepsuit while sleeping, then it is time to transition him or her out of it. This is typically a sign that babies are ready for the next stage of having more freedom of movement in their sleep.

Scary! Was your LO rolling over prior to this incident?

Yes she was rolling over already for about three weeks quite easily. She is four months old. But she has always been a back sleeper and never been able to roll over in the Merlin suit or had even tried that I had seen.

I'm feeling much less alarmist in the light of day after I took off the Merlin suit and put on a sleep sack she set off alarm several more times and I realized she had never slept on the edge of the mattress before and I needed to turn up the sensitivity on the angel care monitor. Before that she always slept in the dead center of the mattress and didn't move in the night. Now we have a new problem every time I put her down on her back she immediately flipped over to her stomach at which point she starts crying because she doesn't want to sleep on her stomach I turn her over and she flipped over to her stomach again and then she starts crying, start the process again no sleep for either of us.

Reviews for "The New Magic Wand Grammy's Influence on Music Genres and Styles"

1. Sarah - 1 star

I found "New magic wand grmmys" to be extremely disappointing. The song lacks any kind of originality and the lyrics are repetitive and uninspiring. The production feels messy and poorly executed, with the instruments and vocals clashing with each other instead of harmonizing. Overall, I didn't feel any emotional connection to this song and it left me wondering why it received any recognition at the Grammy Awards.

2. John - 2 stars

"New magic wand grmmys" is a forgettable track. The musical composition is generic and lacks creativity, making it difficult to distinguish it from other mainstream pop songs. Tyler, the Creator's vocals are monotonous and lack the depth and emotion needed to make this track memorable. Additionally, the lyrics seem shallow and lack substance, falling into the trap of typical clichés. Overall, I was disappointed by this song and expected more from a Grammy-nominated artist like Tyler, the Creator.

3. Emily - 2 stars

I was not impressed by "New magic wand grmmys." The song seems disjointed and doesn't flow smoothly. The heavy use of autotune on Tyler, the Creator's vocals was distracting and took away from the overall listening experience. The lyrics also failed to captivate me, as they were repetitive and lacked depth. While the production quality was decent, it wasn't enough to salvage the song. Overall, "New magic wand grmmys" left me feeling underwhelmed and unimpressed.

4. Michael - 1 star

"New magic wand grmmys" is a prime example of overhyped mainstream music. The song lacks any originality and feels like a generic attempt to appeal to the masses. Tyler, the Creator's vocals are barely tolerable, with his excessive use of autotune being grating to the ears. The lyrics are shallow and fail to evoke any emotions or meaningful storytelling. Overall, this song feels like a lazy attempt at creating a hit, and it falls flat on every level. I couldn't understand why it was even nominated for a Grammy Award.
