Mother saves daughter from choking on cot bumper, Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland - 19 Feb 2015
*Full story: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/pyog
A terrified mother saved her daughter with seconds to spare when she almost strangled to death on a cot bumper. Debbie MacDonald woke to shrieks coming from her one-year-old daughter?s bedroom and rushed over to find her trapped and choking. The 39-year-old mother from Dunfermline, Fife, says that she opened the door to see her daughter?s "wee purple face" and "huge terrified eyes" staring back at her. Thankfully, she managed to pull daughter Lexxi free, but now the mum-of-three wants to warn other parents about the potentially fatal consequences of using the barrier device. She said: "I woke up very early one Sunday morning to the sound of my baby chatting to her teddies in her cot. "She does this a lot and then just puts herself back to sleep so I happily dozed off again. A while later she shrieked really loudly, waking me up again".

Mother wildebeest saves calf from leopard attack, Masai Mara, Kenya - 17 Sep 2013
Mandatory Credit: Photo by REX/Martin Farrell (3090955w)
Protective Wildebeest Mother Leaves Leopard Licking Its Wounds After Failed Attack
This young wildebeest looked destined to become lunch for a hungry leopard - but the big cat hadn't counted on a powerfully protective mother.
These jaw-dropping shots show the predator stalking and then pouncing on the seemingly doomed six-month-old calf.
However, its nearby mother was well-placed to react quickly and counteracted with a precision horned-headbutt to the leopard's upper body.
In a blink of an eye, the stunned cat went from being the attacker to scampering off with its tail between its legs with the angry female in pursuit.
The stunning images were captured by Martin Farrell, 54, from Bristol, who was taking a Kicheche safari camp tour of the Mara North Conservancy in Kenya.
His wife Kathy, 58, a recently retired pharmacist, also managed to shoot a dramatic video of the encounter: http://bit.ly/1boNUZM
Kicheche guide Benjamin Kaluena, who spotted the cat and sensed that there may be action, said: "Leopard kills in daylight hours are incredibly rare but in over 5,000 game drives I have never seen anything like this!"
Kathy said: "We have done many safari but have never seen anything remotely like this and somehow Benjamin put us in the right place at the right time."
Kicheche camp co-owner and wildlife photographer Paul Goldstein explains: "Martin and Kathy Farrell stopped to observe a sleeping leopard. It soon awoke and immediately started hunting.
"This was a big, fully adult male after a young wildebeest which, during migration will form a major part of its diet. However, having brought it down with a tackle any rugby wing forward would have been proud of, it was not prepared for the 'mother-lode' of anguish and protection the wildebeest mum threw at him.

Protective Wildebeest Mother Leaves Leopard Licking Its Wounds After Failed Attack
This young wildebeest looked destined to become lunch for a hungry leopard - but the big cat hadn't counted on a powerfully protective mother.
These jaw-dropping shots show the predator stalking and then pouncing on the seemingly doomed six-month-old calf.
However, its nearby mother was well-placed to react quickly and counteracted with a precision horned-headbutt to the leopard's upper body.
In a blink of an eye, the stunned cat went from being the attacker to scampering off with its tail between its legs with the angry female in pursuit.
The stunning images were captured by Martin Farrell, 54, from Bristol, who was taking a Kicheche safari camp tour of the Mara North Conservancy in Kenya.
His wife Kathy, 58, a recently retired pharmacist, also managed to shoot a dramatic video of the encounter: http://bit.ly/1boNUZM
Kicheche guide Benjamin Kaluena, who spotted the cat and sensed that there may be action, said: "Leopard kills in daylight hours are incredibly rare but in over 5,000 game drives I have never seen anything like this!"
Kathy said: "We have done many safari but have never seen anything remotely like this and somehow Benjamin put us in the right place at the right time."
Kicheche camp co-owner and wildlife photographer Paul Goldstein explains: "Martin and Kathy Farrell stopped to observe a sleeping leopard. It soon awoke and immediately started hunting.
