A social media alert is being issued about the dangers of the big bow headbands after a claim surfaces that a young baby suffocated while wearing a bow headband.

It seems that a 14-week-old girl died after the bow moved down to cover her nose and mouth while she lay asleep in her baby seat.

News about the horrific accident has been shared tens of thousands of times on Facebook with a post titled: “All new moms please be aware.

The post notes: “Putting this warning out for all mums who have wee babies and use the big bow headbands on them. My friend has sadly just lost her 14-week old daughter whilst she thought she was sleeping in her carry cot after a long walk. When she came to check on her she had the bow headband down over her wee nose and mouth and wasn’t moving. She had passed away.”
