Abandoned baby (was) found in bushes

Police appealed last night for the mother of a baby (who was) placed inside a pillowcase and (who was)  abandoned in parkland to come forward.

A woman was seen frantically searching bushes by a footpath in Bedford hours after the black-haired baby was discovered by a dog-walker near a health centre.

(She was) Named Bonnie by nurses who are looking after her at South Wing Hospital in the town, the child is well-nourished and thought to be between five and 10 days old.

"The baby has quite a distinctive mark on her forehead which we think was perhaps as a result of the way the baby was carried or from childbirth," said Detective Chief Inspector David Giles of Bedfordshire Police. "She is a little bit jaundiced and so far it is difficult to assess her ethnicity. She could be mixed race or possibly Asian or black."

The baby was discovered at 8.30am on Sunday when a collie dog began barking at a bundle (which was) wrapped in a fleece blanket inside a pillowcase in bushes next to a footpath.

Her body temperature had fallen to 26C (79F) after spending up to six hours in the cold.

Doctors said she weighed a healthy 3.1kg (6lbs 13oz) and her condition was now stable. Dr Mira Leigh, the consultant paediatrician caring for Bonnie, said she was very cold when she was first brought in and was now on a course of antibiotics to ward off any possible infections. She has been feeding well after recovering from severe hypothermia.

Officers are checking local birth records and have carried out door-to-door inquiries in the Meadowsweet Drive area of Bedford, but said they had not yet found the child's mother.

"The child is doing very well and I am very pleased with her progress," Mr Giles added. "My concern now is for the mother. She will no doubt have had a terrible few days and may be in need of medical help herself.

"I would make a direct appeal to the mother to contact her GP, this hospital or the police. There are people who can help her."

A passerby told police of seeing a woman in a "distressed state" on Sunday afternoon searching the area were the baby was found. She was described as white, in her 30s, with shoulder-length brown hair. She was wearing a blue and beige jacket, beige trousers and white trainers. Police asked for her to come forward.

Detectives said they were hoping photographs of Bonnie in hospital would prompt any family or members of the public who might recognise her to contact them.

Bonnie is expected to stay in hospital for several more days. If her mother is not found she will be placed with a foster family.
