A baby died just hours after standing up for the first time when he climbed out of his cot and got trapped against a chest of drawers.
Noah Ivey was just eight months old and just starting to crawl when he was killed in the freak accident.
Dr Carolyn Adcock, who met the family when they came into Derriford Hospital, said: 'Noah's parents saw him pull himself up onto his feet for the first time at 4.45 pm the previous day.
'He had been crawling for a few days.
'His mother went into his room a 1.30 am and heard him breathing but at 6.30 am she went to his cot and he was not there.
'She thought he was with Neal but when she discovered he was not she went back in and put on the light and found him suspended between the cot and the chest of drawers which they used as a changing table.
'She was distraught and screamed for her husband who found the baby floppy and cold.
