PLEASE sleep your babies on their backs

I have to go to a funeral tomorrow for my cousin's 2-month-old baby boy.

I replied on your other thread but again wanted to give my condolences to your family. This is a terrible tragedy.

I'm so sorry to hear about this awful, awful tragedy! And yes, I 100% agree that babies need to sleep on their back!

I'm so sorry I've been fighting to tell people to put their baby on their back, but most won't listen...

I'm so sorry for what your family is going through. Ty has always been put to bed on his back...the movement is working and we should all spread the word. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I am so very sorry for your family. Hopefully one day the "back to sleep" idea will be so ingrained that no one will ever remember a time when people even considered laying babies on their tummies.

My prayers are with your family. I'm a paramedic and in the last year, I have been called to the homes of three different babies ranging in age of 2 weeks to four months, all passed because they were placed in unsafe sleeping conditions...
