Co-sleeping: 'I woke to find my baby wasn't breathing'

Dawn Barclay took a nap with her eight-week-old baby Fern on the sofa and woke to find she had stopped breathing.

She says she remembers "lifting her up and just running" and screaming "that she was gone".

A coroner later ruled her death was down to "sudden unexpected death in infancy associated with co-sleeping" - a ruling Dawn still believes was unfair.
