A mum was praised by doctors for bringing her baby back to the hospital after her "instinct" told her something was seriously wrong.
Five-week-old Nova 'would have lost her life' if she didn't go back to the hospital that night, the Liverpool Echo reports.
She had been sent home once before but her mum, Samantha Martin-Roxburgh, had noticed her shaking in her cot throughout the evening and 'had a feeling in her stomach' she needed to be checked out by professionals.

The 28-year-old, from Netherton, raced to Ormskirk Hospital where her baby started shaking again.
Doctors confirmed straight away that she was having seizures and had become 'unresponsive' in her mum's arms.
Samantha said: "Everything just stopped. About six doctors started working on Nova and I just collapsed into my dad's arms.
"I remember once one of the doctors was done treating Nova she just came over to me and held me for about five minutes."
After dozens of tests, Nova was diagnosed with a chromosome deletion and was put into a coma for three days to recover from her seizures.
Samantha told The ECHO: "I remember the doctor telling me that she was so thankful we brought her back, as most parents wouldn't after already being sent away.
"They said Nova would have lost her life if she hadn’t received medical treatment that night.
"I just had a feeling in my stomach that something was seriously wrong. It was like mothers instinct."
Nova was transferred to Alder Hey Children's Hospital for further treatment, and has been in and out of hospital ever since.
The now three-year-old has now been diagnosed with global developmental delay and is unable to talk or speak, has small holes in her heart and has sensory difficulties.
Due to her chromosome deletion, Nova has also suffered severe chest infections and Nova has had sepsis on two occasions.
Now, Samantha and her partner Steven Belli, 28, from Mold, were told that in order for Nova to walk again, they will need to buy three rehabilitation suits which will be worn for between six and eight hours a day and will help Nova's muscles grow so she can support herself.
Samantha said: "This will help Nova improve her life as she is unable to stand or walk and the suits will train her body to enable this.
"We are desperate to make memories with our beautiful daughter as doctors can’t currently give us a life expectancy for her.
"We are doing everything for our family but we just need some help."
Since to GoFundMe page was launched two days ago, more than £500 has been raised.
A nurse from Wrexham Hospital has also offered to make a life-size cake of a welsh dragon to auction off to help raise money for baby Nova's rehabilitation suits.
