Like most stay-at-home-moms, I read mommy blogs. I write a mommy blog, so it only makes sense that I should read some, too. And there are some good ones out there -- among my favorites is babyrabies.com. (yes, it's when 'baby fever' reaches a fevered pitch and turns into baby rabies...). The author seems to have her stuff together and I relate to a lot of the things she blogs about. I am still laughing at her sleep training entry (and mentally writing my own in my head).
But today, she was a little more serious and published a link to probably the most disturbing article I've read in months. It was so disturbing that I promptly published it on my Facebook page, urging all parents to read it. Because it highlights every good parent's greatest fear: accidentally causing your child harm. Or in this case, death.
As I said on Facebook, the article is grisly. And tough to get through. But I also think it's important to bring awareness to this subject in order to prevent it from ever happening again. Because it doesn't just affect moms or dads...it could happen to grandparents, aunts, uncles, or any caregiver.

(sorry if you have to cut and paste the link...I don't know how to make it clicky).
Anyways...spread the word.
