This is one of the worst scenarios for parents: to wake up in the morning and find your baby dead. Parents ask themselves: What can we do so that this will not happen to us?
Firstly, I would like to take a look at the Bible:
We can pray for our children:
“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and forever! Amen.” 2 Peter 3:18
Or
“The Lord bless you and keep you, the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you, the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace.”Numbers 6:24-26
But if you have recently found yourself in this horrible situation, know that our Lord will help you through this, just like He promises in His Word:
Psalm 34:18 “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.”
“Now they were bringing even infants to Him that He might touch them. And when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. But Jesus called them to them, saying, “Let the children come to Me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.”
What does science and research teach us about these infant deaths? Is there anything that we can do? Finland has a very low infant mortality rate. Why is it so and what can we learn from them? Please read these two articles from the BBC about the Finnish solution.
All the best, may God bless your family and keep you safe!
