16. Having given birth to premature twins that were in the NICU for several weeks and having lost another baby, I can truly say I understand the pain that this family is feeling in some ways. I am so very sorry for the family of this sweet baby. The grief will be long and painful but there will be a light at the end of the tunnel eventually......

21. It's very important to curtail the use of alcohol, tobbaco and drugs while pregnant.

23. CANDY and DocD - judging from your slightly slow comments, obviously your moms smoked too much weed while pregnant with you. you seem to lack a consideration gene...

24. My condolences to the family. Although the baby was here but a short time, I'm grateful he was shown love and compassion during his brief life.

25. Poor baby. My condolences. Anyone with negative comments should not bother posting them. It's very insenitive in the case of an expired infant and shows the class of person you are.

Doesn't TMZ have control over the comments that are said on here? They need to delete CANDY and DocD comments. Their a bunch of idiots!

28. I'm sorry for the loss. I wonder how many weeks early the baby was delivered. We hear about so many preemies that make it, but there are many, too, who don't. God bless the baby, the father and the mother. What a shame.

29. I highly doubt that they used drugs while they were pregnant. My sister in law was born 4 months premature because her mother's body couldn't handle it and both my kids were premature because my blood pressure rose too high for the doctors to take the risk of me going home. It doesn't necessarily have to be drugs. The doctors would detect it for bi weekly visits equipped with drug tests. Criminal charges would have been filed. DocD and Candy you are morons. Leave oyur respect not you unnecessary comments.

30. Oh no. Not a good way to start a life. Sorry Alvin. Lots of love to you and your family in your time of need.
