The family of a baby who tragically died just five weeks after birth have paid tribute to their 'little sunflower'. Sophia Mannan was born just after 29 weeks by an 'emergency' Caesarean section on August 6 last year, but sadly died on September 14.
Sophia was the second child of Abdul Mannan and Sarah Farkas, of Oldham, with everything 'fine' during most of the pregnancy. This was until August 5 when Abdul and Sarah noticed Sophia wasn't moving as much as usual.
They went to the Royal Oldham Hospital the next day where it was found Sophia had an irregular heartbeat. Staff decided that Sarah should be placed onto a 'category two' C-section, meaning she should be seen within 75 minutes.
