Aka sobbing reading your story my grandson died in identical circumstances aged 6 months . lewis was the most lively baby always laughing , he stayed with me on the Friday and was fine had a lovely night together playing with him. sunday morning we got the terrible news Lewis had died . his mum my daughter put him down for the night totally fine nothing yo indicate he was unwell , when she went to get him in the morning he was gone, his dad tried CPR while waiting on ambulance but to no avail our angel was gone. I am so glad I have came across your story as a grandparent I feel I don't know where to turn for help. lewis passed on 22 march , I have been strong for my daughter but I cant stay strong much longer much love from 1 broken hearted grandmother to another xx
