Police appeal to abandoned baby's mother to name her daughter

Police have appealed to the mother of a baby girl found abandoned at a bus shelter to come forward and give her daughter a name.

The infant was found near the Magpie and Stump pub in Towyn, North Wales, at 7.15am last Tuesday.

She is "making good progress" at the Glan Clwyd Hospital and could soon be well enough to be discharged, but officers and medical staff remain "really concerned" about her mother.

In a video on the North Wales Police website, midwife Louise says: "We are concerned for the health of mum and want to ensure that she is provided with the medical support she needs.

"We'd like mum to know as well that her daughter's doing really well. She's making good progress."

Helen Douglas, from North Wales Police, appealed to the baby's mother.

She said: "We think that you placed your daughter somewhere where she would be found and that is why it is important that you know that your daughter is making good progress and actually may be well enough to be discharged soon.

"Your daughter needs a name and we want you to tell us what you want for her even if you don't feel able to look after her yourself."

Ms Douglas added: "We're all still really concerned about your welfare and want to make sure that you get the right medical treatment and support.

"We'd like to talk to you about the future of your daughter. Please contact us."
