I believe that as a provider there is an added responsibility in that I accept payment and represent myself as a trained professional. As such I accept a greater responsibility.

SIDS is VERY different from hot car deaths or positional asphyxia.
we almost lost DS, it's a long story but I still have nightmares about his little face.

I completely agree with the bolded.

Maybe some parenting videos in addition to safe sleep and SBS at the hospital- common child hood injuries/how to child proof, hot car deaths and how to prevent and 'it couldn't happen to me' story with a parent it DID happen to.
