A coroner has ruled that 'neglect' contributed to the death of a baby boy who suffered a brain injury while being breastfed in hospital.
Ms Clark had wanted to breastfeed Olly so Ms Woods, a student midwife, helped her to position her son. She provided a pillow under Ms Clark's arm, which went against accepted practice, the inquest heard. When she picked Olly up, she found him 'floppy and blue in colour'. Attempts were made to resuscitate Olly before he was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit.
Recording a conclusion of 'neglect', coroner Peter Sigee ruled that Olly's brain injury had 'more than minimally contributed to his death'.
