It should have been a beautiful little girls 1st birthday today. There should have been cake, presents, balloon and lots of smiles however instead her family are preparing to set her free.
On February 2 this year, Jennie Nairn put her 9-month-old baby girl to bed as normal.
Just a few, short hours later, Matilda Mae was found sleeping.

Jennie has thrown herself into fundraising for the Lullaby Trust, The Lullaby Trust funds research into SIDS so that families can be supported and given answers that they so desperately need. The Lullaby Trust also guides and supports families in making the first steps towards growing their family once more, with their Care of Next Infant program.
