Family and first responders attempted to revive Sloan, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
In her post, she warns and pleads other parents: "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."
She ends her post by saying, “Please learn from my world shattering mistake.”
DeRosier also decided to go public about her son's tragic death because she said anti-vaccine activists were blaming her son's death on vaccines, so she felt the need to set the record straight.
