The teenage mother of a newborn baby girl found abandoned in a school playing field was helping police piece together what happened today.
She contacted officers last night following their appeal to trace her and has been given medical attention.
The baby was a few hours old when she was found yesterday afternoon in a school field in Kempston, Bedford.
She was unclothed apart from the pink blanket wrapped around her, and also partially covered by twigs and leaves.
A Bedford Police spokeswoman said last night: 'The mother has been found. She has come forward today and made herself known to the police.
'She is a teenage girl who does live locally to where the baby was found.'
The baby was discovered at 1.30pm by a boy and a girl, both 16, on a playing field at Daubeney Middle School in Bedford.
The teenagers picked her up and took her to hospital, where nurses warmed her up and saved her life.
Police took her to Bedford Hospital South Wing where nurses named her Chloe.
They said she had not spent long out in the cold.
The baby remains in the care of the hospital.
The two teenagers who found the child, along with an older boy who drove them to the hospital, were praised for their 'quick and speedy efforts'.
A police spokesman said: ‘The teenagers opened up the blanket and saw the tiny baby and realised that she was very, very vulnerable.
'They were sensible and realised they needed to get the baby to somewhere
where experts could help her, very quickly.
‘We think the baby could not have been dumped under the bush for longer than half an hour, which is very fortunate.’
