A baby died just hours after standing up for the first
time when he climbed out of his cot and got trapped against a chest
of drawers.
Noah Ivey was just eight months old and just starting to
crawl when he was killed in the freak accident.
Dr Carolyn Adcock, who met the family when they came into
Derriford Hospital, said: 'Noah's parents saw him pull himself up
onto his feet for the first time at 4.45 pm the previous
day.
'He had been crawling for a few days.
'His mother went into his room a 1.30 am and heard him
breathing but at 6.30 am she went to his cot and he was not
there.
'She thought he was with Neal but when she discovered he
was not she went back in and put on the light and found him
suspended between the cot and the chest of drawers which they used
as a changing table.
'She was distraught and screamed for her husband who found
the baby floppy and cold.
