A coroner has issued a warning to parents after a six-week-old boy died in a baby sling.
Jimmy Alderman was being breastfed ‘hands free’ while in a baby carrier worn by his mum as she moved around their home last October.
The baby was in an unsafe position too far down in the sling, and he collapsed after five minutes.
Despite resuscitation efforts, Jimmy died three days later in hospital.
