I was just reading the article, how sad for everyone involved, can't imagine what the parents and the passenger are going though.

And the flight crew.

Ms Parenzee was full of praise for AirAsia staff, who she said dealt with the situation "really well".

This isn't said often enough.

A tragic situation for the parents and all involved.

Terrible thing to happen, just tragic.

Terrible indeed.

Sadly it seems SIDS is still somewhat random.

In my sister's mother's group had a similarly aged baby who passed away suddenly at a cafe, where the mother was catching up with friends, one of them a doctor

Such an awful time for everyone involved and the parents must be in such distress. I can’t imagine their grief. And shock for the other passengers.

Totally a non expert but I’m not sure SIDS was in play here and that there may be complicating issues.

Such a terrible thing to happen.

I can't imagine how hard it would have been (and still would be) for everyone involved.

Something not right - Captain and passenger discussing diversion.

Normally onboard medical assistance is first aid, data gathering and then ground based medical services assist Captain to decide on flight destination. Onboard medicos/passengers should not be the ones telling the Captain to divert.

Does D7 have a contract with one of the worldwide airline medical services like MedAire?
