This is an old news but it happened this year,a baby died because the mother left the baby to suck the bre@st while she slept off. The mother of the baby left her bre@st in the mouth of the baby and slept overnight, only for the father of the baby to raise alarm at about 6am the following day that his child was stone dead.
The husband warned her several times about her behaviour before the tragedy.

Stories of this kind have also made headlines in other countries.
The cause of this kind of death is not overfeeding but suffocation caused when their airways are obstructed by lying against their mother - a phenomenon known as 'overlying'.

SoMe wives can be stubborn, now she has to start all over . When I gave birth I was conscious of that, it kills babies more especially a woman that has big breast, and some times when the baby is over fed and doesn't have strength to bring out his mouth, the milk will block his nose. This is just a very simple mistake she for have avoided. She can never forget and forgive herself till she dies. Wasted months.
