Yesterday we told how her three-week-old son died from pneumonia after becoming ill in the Syrian refugee camp the pair were living.
The 19-year-old and newborn Jarrah had recently been living at a desert refugee camp
Earlier this month her father said it was Britain's fault she joined the terror group in Syria.
Ahmed Ali, 60, said his daughter should never have been allowed to leave the country when she and two East London school pals fled home after being groomed online.
He said today: "She has done wrong, I apologise to everyone as her father, to the British people, I am sorry for Shamima's doing.
"I request to the British people, please forgive her.
"She was underage at that time, she couldn't understand that much. I suppose someone influenced her to do that.
"I admit that she might have done wrong without realising it."
THIRD CHILD TO DIE
Shamima's baby boy died three weeks after being born in a refugee camp - he was her third child, with none surviving.
A paramedic at the scene told the BBC the tot was having breathing difficulties and was taken to hospital along with Begum on Thursday morning.
But the baby couldn't be saved and passed away on Thursday at 1.30pm local time after suffering from a lung infection.
Jarrah's skin "turned blue and went cold" before his passing, according to a friend of Begum, reported Daily Mail.
The jihadi bride was later taken back to the refugee camp in Syria to bury her child, the paramedic added.
There had been some confusion over whether the baby was still alive, but the Syrian Defence Force (SDF) last night confirmed his death.
'BRING HER HOME FOR PUNISHMENT'
Mr Ali said the Government was wrong to strip her of her UK citizenship and she should be brought home and punished.
The dad, who lives in Bangladesh, claimed British authorities had failed to deal with the issue of teenagers trying to join ISIS.
He said previously: "One girl went there a month ago (before Shamima).
"The British government should have been alarmed about the matter, and they should have also inquired at the school to find out how she fled, since she was a student.
"Then a month later, three more students fled. The authorities should investigate at the school why these students fled. They were not adults.
"The British immigration system is very informed, the most informed system in the world.
"I always say how did Shamima get there using another one's passport? She doesn't even have her own passport."
RAN AWAY WITH SCHOOL PALS
It is thought Shamima used her older sister's passport to fly from Gatwick to Turkey with two other teenage girls in February 2015.
She was smuggled over the border to Syria and within weeks was married to a Dutch jihadi.
Mr Ali went on: "My child was only 15 years old when she fled. She was immature.
"I would ask the British government not to cancel her citizenship, to return her citizenship, and if she is guilty, bring her back to Britain and give her punishment there."
Mr Ali had previously said the Home Secretary was RIGHT to take away her citizenship.
But the next day he did a U-turn and said Britain should take her back.
Mr Ali, who moved to the UK in 1975, has returned to his home country where he lives with his second wife.

Shamima, now 19, resurfaced at a refugee camp in Syria last month and told reporters she wants to come home.
But her brazen lack of remorse sparked fury as she said the Manchester Arena suicide bombing was justified and claimed she deserves more sympathy.
She gave birth to her third child in the camp – after her first two died of disease and malnutrition.
Her ISIS fighter husband Yago Riedijk – currently held in a Kurdish-run jail – said he wanted to take her and the newborn to the Netherlands.
