Abandoned newborn doing well

A newborn girl who was yesterday found abandoned in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, is being cared for by hospital staff and is safe and well.

The little girl, who is thought to be only two days old, was discovered with her umbilical cord still attached, wrapped in a cardigan in a canvas bag about 50m from a supermarket. Police are concern about the health of the mum, urging her to come forward or at least get medical treatment to make sure there’s no complication.

Medical staff at the hospital have named the little girl Rosie.
