NORFOLK, Neb. -- On the morning of Jan. 30, Lacey and Wyatt Schuettler received news no parent ever wants to hear.

“Our daughter wasn’t breathing and so I went to the daycare and called Wyatt as I was driving," Lacey said. "The EMT team was working there. We took her to Yankton and they pronounced her dead at 12:16."

Raelynn was the Schuettler’s 3-month-old daughter, who was taken by Sudden Infant Death—known as SIDS.

According to the CDC, about 38 infants die from SIDS every 100,000 births.

“It’s just not something you ever think you’re going to go through, I guess," Wyatt said. "It’s different."

In response to the tragedy, Wyatt's employer, Nucor, collaborated with Briggs and Barrett, a Norfolk-based non-profit that raises awareness about SIDS. 

A program was set up between the two to provide support to families at Nucor who have newborns. 

“We know that SIDS is the leading cause of infant mortality in the United States," Briggs and Barrett executive director Brittany Melby-Heimes said. "We just believe that monitoring does matter and all babies should be monitored."

Each family now receives a "Rae" of sunshine newborn box, containing essential items such as a swaddle, onesie, book, and an Owlet® Dream Sock, designed to monitor babies' heart rate and oxygen levels.

“That’s amazing we are able to do that and they’re able to do that for their employees," Lacey said.

With two other children and their support system, the Schuettlers now look to support other families.

“We always say that Rae was meant to touch a lot of lives in her life,” Lacey said. “She still is but just not in the way that we pictured.”

As thousands of families experience a sudden infant death, the National Institute of Child Health and Development recommends back sleeping and having a baby sleep on a flat surface.
