I'm Candice, here with my mom, Christine.

We are here today to talk about my daughter, Delilah.

Delilah passed away a week before her first birthday from SIDS, which is Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

Basically, the day before I was cleaning,

taking care of the house.

Her and her brother were playing the whole entire day.

So I didn't really get to hang out with her that much.

I put her down for bed, put my son down for bed.

And then at this point, my boyfriend, he was working overnights.

And then I was just working at a grocery store.

But that night, once both of the babies were down, I went and I started working on goodie bags because the following weekend was supposed to be my daughter's birthday party.

It was supposed to be her very first birthday.

So I was making goodie bags for all the kids that were supposed to come.

And that night I did hear her like,

She never cried when she went to bed or anything.

She was really good at going down and sleeping.

But she woke up a little bit, did her baby babbles.

She didn't cry, but went straight back to bed.

She always went straight back to bed.

Both my babies were sleep trained, but I didn't think anything of it.
