'My ten-day-old baby died as I was giving him his first cuddle'

Sarah-Lou Gee has shared her story as part of Baby Loss Awareness Week 2022

Sarah-Lou Gee cradled her newborn baby for the first time as the whirring and beeping of his life support machine gradually came to a stop. She had never held him properly before. Tragically, their first meeting was also their final goodbye.

After 10 agonising days, there was nothing more doctors could do. Sarah had to make the impossible decision to turn off his life support machine.“As the nurses and doctors started taking his tubes out and decreasing his medication, I was finally allowed to give my son his first cuddle,” she added. Feeling totally numb, she placed the newborn down in his cold cot before returning to her room and cried like she had never cried before.

A post-partum later discovered Dainton-Lee died from rare heart condition TAPVD , severe pulmonary high pertension, severe lung disease, surfactant deficiency and sepsis, which had infected every part of his body.
