R Baby Real Stories
SHARE YOUR STORY
R Baby Foundation was born from one family’s determination that no other parent should ever have to lose a baby due to misdiagnosis or inadequate pediatric emergency care. This page is dedicated to Rebecca and all the babies pictured here, whose families have shared their experiences of tragic loss or successful recovery. Their stories underscore the urgent need to support pediatric emergency education, training and research. We invite you to share your story too.
