🕊️”Rest In Paradise, Baby Gabby” — A Mother’s Warning After Tragic Loss of Newborn Son Due to Pulmonary Aspiration 💔

📍Manila, Philippines 

In a heartbreaking turn of events, a healthy baby boy born on May 3, 2025, passed away unexpectedly—leaving a grieving mother and a wave of sadness across the community. The cause: Pulmonary Aspiration, a silent and sudden danger that many new parents may not even know exists.

According to the mother, Baby Gabby showed no signs of illness—no fever, no colds, no cough. He was simply crying, then fed. Moments later, his lips turned blue. He was rushed to the hospital… but it was too late.

Pulmonary aspiration occurs when milk or food accidentally enters the lungs instead of the stomach. This can lead to suffocation, especially in very young infants whose bodies are still fragile.

Now, in the middle of her grief, this mother bravely turns her pain into purpose—raising awareness for all first-time moms and caregivers. She urges everyone to observe safe feeding practices:

Always keep your baby upright or well-supported during feeding.

After feeding, make it a habit to burp your baby before putting them down.

Avoid bottle-feeding too quickly; pace the feeding with pauses.

Never lay your baby flat while feeding or immediately after.

Sometimes, the most innocent routines can carry the greatest risk. This tragic story is a painful reminder that awareness saves lives.

As the country mourns the loss of baby Gabby, his short life now carries a message meant to protect others.

Rest in peace, Baby Angel. Your memory lives on through the lives you may help save. 🪽🙏
