On Nov 19, 2020, Mdm Sien fed the baby at about 1am. After feeding, the baby made some noises which indicated to Mdm Sien that he was in some discomfort, according to the findings.
The baby had been uncomfortable throughout the night as he kept making noises and seemed to be crying and fidgeting in his cot, according to the findings. Mdm Sien carried him several times in different positions to get him to fall asleep.
"At some point, Mdm Sien sat on her bed leaning against the wall behind her, with (the baby) in her arms. He was held against her chest with his face resting on her shoulder. Mdm Sien dozed off," according to the findings.
At about 4.15am, the baby’s mother woke up, went into his room and found him asleep in Mdm Sien's arms.
According to the mother, the baby’s face was "facing directly" into Mdm Sien’s chest. She also said that a yellow cloth - which had been placed on Mdm Sien's chest and used a barrier between nanny and baby for hygiene purposes - was on the baby's face when Mdm Sien carried him to the cot.
Mdm Sien, in her account, said that the right side of the baby’s face was on her shoulder area and not buried into her chest or shoulders. She explained that she would turn his head to face away from her shoulders whenever she held him in this position.
The view of the baby and Mdm Sien was obstructed by cushions in the Camera footage.
After Mdm Sien left the room, the baby’s mother noticed that the left side of his face appeared darker. She took him out of the cot and called out to him, but he was unresponsive.
They subsequently took the baby to KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital (KKWCH), where doctors found the baby to be pulseless with no signs of life. The infant did not respond to resuscitation and was pronounced dead at 5.18am.
