Devastated mum Jordan DeRosier posts heartbreaking picture after her seven-month-old son got tangled in his blanket and died
The mum wants to warn other parents of the dangers after baby Sloan's death
A GRIEVING mother has spoken out about her seven-month-old son's death after he tragically became caught in a blanket while in his cot.
Jordan DeRosier, from Puyallup, around 35 miles south of Seattle, Washington, says she felt she had to explain the circumstances surrounding baby Sloan's death after cruel critics tried to blame vaccinations.
Mrs DeRosier, who also has another son, Rowan, took to to share her "unfathomable grief" following the loss of her "sweet rainbow warrior" in the freak accident.
She wrote: "He was last laid down to bed with this blanket made by his great-great grandmother, and one other blanket, a grey one he had been attached to since birth.
"They took the grey one he had been found with his head in. He had pulled it through the crib rails somehow and gotten himself stuck in it."
The devastated mum, who is a small business owner, also warned other parents to be extremely careful about placing blankets near babies' cribs.

She said: "You never think it will happen to you. You never think it will be your baby. Please do not put your babies to bed with a blanket.
'He was seven months old, I thought because he was crawling, standing on his own, and climbing, that he would be fine with a blanket."
"I will never stop feeling responsible. I will relive this for the rest of my life knowing exactly what I could have done differently.
"Please learn from my world shattering mistake."
Friends have now set up an online fundraising page, raising over $9,000 (around £6,960) to support the family, who are looking for a new home following the tragedy.
