But Carlisle Crown Court heard at around 2.40am they woke horrified to find the tot lifeless and not breathing. The court heard about the conditions in their home, with mouldy food in the fridge and no working toilet. The court heard there was considerable evidence of drinking at the address, with 15 empty lager cans and three empty vodka bottles found. The mother told police she woke and took her daughter out of her basket to breast feed her on the mattress.
