She said: “I could hear my son crying and I hadn’t heard anything before. “I went to his incubator to see he had blood coming out of his mouth. I was panicking because I felt something was wrong.

I could hear it in the little hallway.” The mother said she had gone to comfort her child, “but it hadn’t worked” and he continued to cry until she left 10 minutes later.
