[Reporter Lin Jiadong/Report from Keelung] Another sudden death of a baby girl in Keelung City!

A 16-year-old novice mother surnamed Peng found that her 2-month-old daughter was not breathing or had a heartbeat after breastfeeding. She immediately called 119 and sent her to the hospital, but she still died after first aid.

The police initially found no traumatic injuries on the baby girl who had been abused; however, for the sake of prudence, the prosecution will select a date for an autopsy to clarify the cause of death.

The baby girl’s biological mother is only 16 years old. After giving birth at the end of October last year, she lived with her husband in her 20s in Qidu District. The novice father had to go to work during the day, and Ms. Peng stayed at home to take care of the child all day. Neither of them had any experience in taking care of children. .

According to the police investigation, Peng Nv took care of the baby girl alone at home as usual on the 4th. After feeding the baby at 4:00 p.m., she put the baby girl in the living room to rest. The baby's face was pale, and when she approached the baby girl's ears and nose, she found that she was not breathing. She quickly called her husband, and then called 119 for help.

According to the instructions of the firefighters on the phone, Peng Nv performed CPR on her daughter until the firefighters arrived; the baby girl was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment but still died.

According to the preliminary investigation by the police, Ms. Peng claimed that after feeding the baby girl and drinking milk, she burped the baby girl before letting the baby girl rest on the sofa in the living room. When she returned after more than 10 minutes, she found the baby girl was pale, Not breathing.

Since the baby girl lost her breath and heartbeat after drinking milk, whether Peng did not burp enough after feeding caused the baby girl to suffocate and die due to milk coagulation in the nasal cavity.

In addition, the police found no obvious trauma on the appearance of the baby girl's body. However, after the prosecutor's inspection, for the sake of caution, the police asked the police to temporarily store the baby girl's body on ice, and choose an autopsy to clarify the cause of death.
