Who is Sebastian and how did he change my life?

When I was a little girl TV presenter Anne Diamond lost her baby son Sebastian to cot death. But out of that very public tragedy came a positive outcome. Her resulting campaign urging parents to put their babies to sleep on their backs has been credited with drastically reducing the number of sudden infant deaths in the UK, Ireland, Australia and Canada just to name a few countries.

I decided from a very young age when I grew up I would also like to prevent other families from going through the loss mine had. When I was aged 7 I had lost my brother Richard to cot death (the former name for SIDS). So I decided to start my extended back sleeping approach and to this day hundreds of babies and children who have followed the Save Our Sleep program sleep on their back every night with their face and head uncovered. This is something I am very proud of but I would never have achieved this without my learnings from Anne Diamond.
