Wakefield woman uses cuddle-cot to bond with her stillborn baby

A Wakefield mum, who lost her baby at 35 weeks, wants the NHS to introduce special cots for miscarriages and stillborn children. Katie Howell describes her little boy Ellis as "born sleeping" when he arrived at Dewsbury District Hospital last September. She was able to use what's known as a 'cuddle cot' so she and her partner could bond and grieve for Ellis, giving them a chance to say goodbye properly. Without it, Ellis' body would have been taken straight to the morgue. The problem is, not all hospitals have these - in fact Dewsbury only had one because it was donated. Listen to Katie's chat with BBC Radio Leeds reporter Tracy Gee - a difficult conversation for both of them as Tracy is pregnant herself. Here's Katie's story and her campaign to get these cuddle-cots funded by the government. #Wakefield #Stillborn #Dewsbury
