A woman has been charged with the murder of a newborn baby who was found in a bathtub in western Sydney.
Emergency services were called to a home in the Blacktown suburb of Shalvey around midday on Tuesday, where they found an eight-week-old girl unconscious in a bath.
The baby was rushed to Westmead Children's Hospital but died a short time later.
A 35-year-old woman was arrested at the home and taken under police guard to Westmead Hospital for treatment and assessment.
She has since been charged with murder and refused bail during a bedside court hearing.
She will appear before Mount Druitt Local Court on March 31.
