A CORONER highlighted the importance of putting babies to sleep on their backs.

Cork’s city coroner Dr Myra Cullinane said it was vital that parents followed baby sleep guidelines to reduce the risk of cot death.

She made her comments at an inquest into the sudden death of five-month-old Elyssa McConville, at her home in Knocknaheeny, Cork.
