Police in London are searching for the mother of a newborn baby who was left on a doorstep at the weekend.
The child who has been named Edward after the postman who discovered him was abandoned in Hackney in east London.
Officers have said he's "fit and healthy" and their main concern now is his mother's wellbeing.
Detective Sergeant Andy Barry has said:
“Edward is being well cared for by hospital staff and is a healthy, bonny lad.
“I am reaching out to Edward’s mother. You are my primary concern. I do not know the circumstances around Edward’s birth but, as a father myself, I understand how daunting becoming a parent can be.
“I can offer you help, please be assured that you are not in trouble. Edward is safe and well, and your health and wellbeing is our priority.
“To anyone who may know Edward’s mother, I’d urge you to come forward and help me locate her – this can be done in confidence.
“I’d also like to hear from anyone who was in the Sandringham Road area between 10am and 12pm on Saturday January 25. If you noticed anything or saw someone, please contact us as a matter of urgency.”
