The change in the law was inspired by the experiences of the parents of a toddler who was found dead almost a decade ago.
She said the situation her family faced demonstrated the need for change.
"A sudden or accidental death may require a post-mortem or inquest, there is a funeral to arrange and there are many other organisations to contact, from schools to benefit offices," she added. "When it takes effect, Jack's Law will be a fitting testament to the tireless efforts of Lucy Herd, alongside many charities, to give parents greater support."
