Parents felt their worry over their nine-month-old daughter's health was not taken seriously and they were treated like "hypochondriacs" before her death, an inquest heard.
Camilla Adamson and Jon-Luc Cummings, of West Kirby, were worried about their baby Pearl-Nora Jacqueline Camilla's swollen stomach and were in regular contact with doctors at Arrowe Park hospital before she died on March 3, last year.
Baby Pearl was born prematurely at 28-weeks in Birkenhead and suffered complications, including necrotising enterocolitis which required surgery, reported the Liverpool Echo.
