Late last night I was blog hopping due to shear boredom and I came across this woman's blog and she was talking about her crib being recalled. I instantly ran to the garage and pulled Sage's crib out of storage. Within minutes I discovered that Sage's crib was one of the cribs being recalled. The cribs are being recalled because they are contributing factors in infant death. The babies are getting stuck in the corner of the crib and suffocating or the crib collapses resulting in death or injury. Spencer found Sage in the corner of the crib...
We have contacted the company and filled out all of the paper work to report his death and register our crib. I actually found the receipt on the crib and more information on the crib. They will come in contact with us within 30 days of us filing out the papers. I don't know what will come from all of this. I guess I just feel better knowing it was not all my fault. It is easier to blame a faulty crib...or something. SIDS is so hard because you have no answer. Sometimes hearing it was just his time...drives you up a wall.
I am pretty sure they will refund us the amount of the crib and it will give us a little bit of closure as to what might have happened to him.

im sure discovering that information was hard to deal with but good to have a possible contributing factor.. i heard about the crib recalls too... i hope you can get the peace you need from this. and keep us updated as to what happens from here.
love ya!
For years and years cribs were made with no problems just because they had metal hardware. I just don't understand why manufactures think they have to change stuff just to "update" things. If it ain't broke DON'T FIX IT!!
I'll be watching to see what comes of this.
((hugs))
I just got the chills. You are an amazing Mom and such a strong woman! Sending love your way! I can't believe that about his crib. :(
Reading this brought tears to my eyes, I have a baby who I lay to sleep everynight in a crib and thinking how this can happen breaks my heart. I hope this can give some sort of closure in what you have been seeking.
Wow, I'm sure that is not just coincidence that you found the link to there.
