Mother accidentally smothers baby while breastfeeding on plane
In what can only be described as one of the most tragic in-flight accidents I've ever head of, a 29 year old mother woke up to discover that she had smothered her four week old baby. The mother had been breastfeeding the infant when she fell asleep. When she woke up, cabin crew were alerted by her screams in the business class cabin, and a doctor on board the plane was unable to resuscitate the smothered infant.
The United Airlines plane was bound for Kuwait, but made an emergency landing in London where medical staff were also unable to revive the baby.
This really is an absolutely horrible accident, made even more tragic by the fact that it nobody around her noticed anything.

I'm sorry to hear this and only can image the pain that mother is going through. I pray that family and friends are there to support and encourage her through this time. I have a young daughter who my mother just spoke to yesterday about this same matter. My prayers are with you and God has your angel by his side.
