Re: Brittani Boren Leach
I would hazard a guess that since they were at someone elses house that they may not have had the monitor on?
Brings back loads of memories, my girls between 4 weeks and 14-18 months both had multiple sleep aponea episodes, many resulting in ambulance rides and hospital admissions. Aponea/SIDS happens so fast. My girls only ever slept in their cot with the angelcare monitor on the mattress. Im that mum that woke a sleeping baby in a capsule or stroller until we got home.
This was 9-11 years ago - technology has improved greatly since then, there was a snuza monitor available in the US but for me to get it to New Zealand the estimated delivery time was ridiculous something like 8-10 months from ordering - stock came from a third party and stocks were super low and super super expensive - $3000+. We had a hospital grade monitor that still didn’t pick up a blue baby Technology unfortunately shouldn’t be relied on.
So incredibly sad, I hope they get the support they need other than GFM and gifts. They need good proper grief counselling for themselves and the other kids.
I dont pray - I find it hard to believe if there was a god, why would he be putting one of his families in this situation - if you get what i mean?? Why does shit like this happen to faithful families? Dont mean to start a debate, just pondering.

That was so nice of Joanna. I know if Brittani ever reads through the comments she’ll appreciate that since she idolizes Joanna.Ceirsten8676 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 27, 2019 8:53 pm I've been trying to post all day but the website has been super slow. Her most recent story of one of her boys with Crew absolutely shattered my heart. I've had them on my mind all day and I'm just so heartbroken. I'm still praying so hard for little Crew and their family. I cannot even imagine.
Also, I just saw that Joanna Gaines commented on her recent post, that was so incredibly kind of her.
Re: Brittani Boren Leach
I like many of you couldn’t sleep last night at all. Around 2 my 3 year old woke up and I let him come into bed with me the rest of night and I just cuddle on him.
Re: Brittani Boren Leach
I did think that was very classy of him. I also kind of wondered if he was supposed to go to that game with Carter.begenos1 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 27, 2019 10:46 pmShe has gained over 100k followers.

She’s gained easily 50k followers just today. For a YouTube influencer that’s huge. Her story has really gotten out. I’ve seen it talked about on a lot of different instagrams and Facebook pages. I know it’s the last thing on anyone’s mind but it was just something I noticed. A lot of people are coming together for her in this horrible situation.
Amazed at the amount of people showing support to her family. Her ex, Carter’s dad is auctioning off his tickets to tomorrow’s Spurs game and donating the proceeds to Britt and fam. Class act.
Gotta say lovin’ this community as well. When I first saw the news on her stories I came on here hoping someone would have more info as to what was going on and I was taken aback by the first comment on the issue and seriously thought it was going to turn into lots of heartless judging so glad I was wrong.

I also was taken back by that first comment but was so glad this turned into overwhelming love for Crew and Brittani.
Re: Brittani Boren Leach
Long time lurker here. I watch Brittani and a few other YouTubers. My heart is just broken for her and her family. I feel like I can’t tell my husband this or my friends. Nobody doesn’t quite understand why I’m so upset about someone I don’t even know. But this is just breaking my heart. I have a son about a month older than crew. It’s 4am here and i can’t even sleep. I wish there was more i could do for this family.

Re: Brittani Boren Leach
I posted this on aaryns walls thread too, but wondered if anyone else’s noticed this too?
I only follow Aaryn, Tara, Liza & Brit as far as YT moms go, and I’ve noticed none of them have posted Christmas vlogs and I’m wondering if they’re doing it out of respect for Brittani. Tara is usually very consistent with her uploads and would have probably had it up the next day or 2 days after Christmas at the latest and she hasn’t yet. Liza is usually pretty good about getting videos up too. If this is the case I do have to respect that decision because uploading and profiting off a video of your family have a happy Christmas knowing what happened to Brittani would be tacky. However, Tara has zero tact so I wouldn’t put it past her if she ends up putting one up.

Re: Brittani Boren Leach
I couldn’t fall asleep last night for hours. I saw her post about the bad MRI results while I was nursing my son who is exactly 1 month younger than Crew. I’m devastated for her. My heart aches for every mama that has to bury their child but this just hits so close to home for me. I’m paralyzed with fear that this might happen to me and even though I follow all of the recommendations for reducing SIDS, nothing is foolproof and it could still happen even if you do everything “right”. This poor woman. This poor family. Christmas will forever be a reminder of the last day this sweet boy was smiling and happy. I can’t stop crying every time I think about him.

Re: Brittani Boren Leach
Oh of course that’s what it is then I don’t know why I gave Tara the benefit of the doubt that she’s be a half decent person knowing she didn’t even contribute a dollar to the go fund me. Gosh that woman is so horrible. You’re right, she’d never miss an opportunity to make $ just like she posted a swipe up ad right after posting the gofundme that she herself never even donated to.

Re: Brittani Boren Leach
To be fair you have no idea what YouTube channels has or hasn’t donated to their go fund me and anyone who goes and looks at the list of thousands that have during this time of tragedy to check is twisted in this time of tragedy.Adhbrh91 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 28, 2019 5:12 am Oh of course that’s what it is then I don’t know why I gave Tara the benefit of the doubt that she’s be a half decent person knowing she didn’t even contribute a dollar to the go fund me.

Re: Brittani Boren Leach
Its going to be so hard when Britt goes home and sees that nursery. Why God Why? It's just not fair. She doesn't deserve this. She loved that baby so much and is a good mother.brittknee wrote:To be fair you have no idea what YouTube channels has or hasn’t donated to their go fund me and anyone who goes and looks at the list of thousands that have during this time of tragedy to check is twisted in this time of tragedy.Adhbrh91 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 28, 2019 5:12 am Oh of course that’s what it is then I don’t know why I gave Tara the benefit of the doubt that she’s be a half decent person knowing she didn’t even contribute a dollar to the go fund me.

Re: Brittani Boren Leach
I was just thinking that too. When she goes home and sees all his stuff there. I think she just recently changed up their bedrooms too so Sydney could have her own. She must have put crew & cash in the same room
Re: Brittani Boren Leach
I cried so much for her family last night. Seeing the picture of Cooper with Crew just broke me. This is every parents worst nightmare. I’ve been watching her since Coop was a baby, and I feel like I personally know them. I just can’t imagine how she will handle this going forward. My cousin lost a son and they’ve just never been the same. It shakes the whole family

Re: Brittani Boren Leach
The reason people are pointing out Tara didn't donate is because she posted about Brittani and then did a swipe up immediately after. If anything that's sick and twisted. And yes you can see who donated or not, doubtful Tara would do it anonymously. She should donate some $ from the swipe up she did right after.brittknee wrote: ↑Sat Dec 28, 2019 5:20 amTo be fair you have no idea what YouTube channels has or hasn’t donated to their go fund me and anyone who goes and looks at the list of thousands that have during this time of tragedy to check is twisted in this time of tragedy.Adhbrh91 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 28, 2019 5:12 am Oh of course that’s what it is then I don’t know why I gave Tara the benefit of the doubt that she’s be a half decent person knowing she didn’t even contribute a dollar to the go fund me.

Re: Brittani Boren Leach
The amount of followers brittani has gained since this has happened is amazing. It’s amazing how a community of people who don’t know someone can come together to help them through one of the hardest moments in their life.

I was thinking that too. Almost 200k on Instagram. She just celebrated 50k. It's too bad the way she gained the followers though & probably couldn't care less right now.

Re: Brittani Boren Leach
Just heard about this girl. Man, it's so tragic & wouldn't wish it on my worse enemy. I do find it disappointing how she is advertising her own go fund me/posts on it. I wouldn't be thinking about any of that in such a dreadful time. God I wouldn't be on my phone scrolling through social media either. I guess everyone deals with such things differently. Does she have a family she can find support in?

Re: Brittani Boren Leach
I don't follow her but have seen her with other vloggers I follow. I have cried and have been praying for her. However, I have also wondered what I would do in her situation, and I would tell you I wouldn't be on social media at all, let alone post photos with preset no matter how many followers I have. I also think I would wait until things are a little settled before posting photos of my other kids saying goodbye. I am continuing to pray for comfort for her and her entire family. This is going to be so hard for her and I hope she takes time to truly recover and help the other kids recover from this pain.brokenrecord wrote: ↑Sat Dec 28, 2019 6:57 am Just heard about this girl.

Re: Brittani Boren Leach
To some of us it may definitely seem weird. Influencers live in a different universe it seems. In the midst of everything to filter your photos of you crying over your dying baby to match the aesthetic of your feed may seem nutty.brokenrecord wrote: ↑Sat Dec 28, 2019 6:57 am Just heard about this girl.

But this is the life they’ve built for themselves and they basically spend day to day thinking of what videos to make or what to post. It seems natural in their world that they’d turn to social media during the hardest time of their lives. Social media is their job and life so it doesn’t seem out of place for them, if that makes sense. They are still connecting with their audience and seeking support and comfort from them.
It seems she has a good support system outside of the IG / YouTube world so I’m glad for that, even though this is a nightmare for her family and in the moment it feels like nothing will be ok.
