A mum found her 11-week-old baby had died in the sling she was using to carry him against her chest, an inquest has heard. Briony Barwick noticed something was wrong with baby Toby when she saw a smear of blood.
He was unresponsive and despite the best efforts of emergency services, he was pronounced dead at hospital. Toby had been born with a low weight.
The inquest heard that Ms Barwick's pregnancy had been “relatively straightforward” aside from her concern that her bump was small. During her 36-week appointment, a sonographer said that Toby was “worryingly small”.
