Authorities from the Alytus County Police Department are investigating the circumstances surrounding the tragic death of a newborn baby, Danielius, after a mother, identified as Indrė, shared her account with the local news outlet AlytausPlius.lt. In her heartfelt confession made 23 days after the incident, Indrė reflects on a particularly exhausting day when she fell asleep while nursing her son, which she believes may have led to unintentional harm.

Indrė describes her desperate exhaustion, attributed to a lack of sleep caused by persistent noise from neighbors, which left her awake for nearly a day and a half. After spending time with visitors who left in the afternoon, she attempted to breastfeed her baby and recalls how she last saw his bright blue eyes before succumbing to fatigue while lying next to him. This tragic moment has since spiraled into accusations from the community, exacerbating her pain as she navigates her grief.

The emotional turmoil faced by Indrė not only emphasizes the intense challenges of motherhood, particularly for new parents dealing with exhaustion but also highlights issues related to societal judgment and support. As the investigation unfolds, the community is left to grapple with the implications of this tragedy, and the mother’s candid account opens a broader dialogue about the pressures parents face and the critical importance of mental health support during the early stages of parenthood.
