This experience has helped with a Mother who'd lost a child to SIDS at her
breast in bed at night due to a missed infection, and I hope it helps
anywhere you may experience the lost of a baby.

A gentle correction here.  This child did not apparently die of SIDS, it
died of Strep sepsis.  SIDS by definition has no other detectable cause of
death.  The fact that the post mortem exam ruled the cause of death to be
sepsis, by definition rules out SIDS.  Yes,  this was a sudden infant
death, but it was not the SYNDROME of sudden infant death.
