Police today appealed for help to find a woman who abandoned her baby daughter at a hospital.
The child, aged two to four months, is yet to be identified by detectives.
The baby, named Amy by nurses who are caring for her, was found abandoned in her pushchair on Saturday afternoon at the back of the emergency department of Grantham Hospital in Lincolnshire.
Officers say the child has been well-cared for and are now keen to find her mother.
A spokesman for Lincolnshire Police said: "It's more likely that (the mother) is a local woman and a woman who gave birth at Grantham Hospital, but we cannot rule out that she has come from further afield.
"We would appeal for information from anyone who was in the area at about 3pm on Saturday, and also to any taxi or bus drivers who may have given the baby's mother a lift.
"We would also appeal to the mother. We understand that she has been through an awful lot of emotional trauma and there is support available to her if she needs it.
"Our main priority at the moment is that we find out that the mother is safe and well and reunite her with her daughter."
Police say the child has fair-coloured hair and blue eyes and was wearing a pink baby-grow when she was found.
The baby is now being cared for by staff at the hospital and social services.
