Ms Batty’s partner, Adam Dutton, 21, performed CPR while waiting for paramedics to arrive however tragically young Lucy Louise was pronounced dead at around 9am on Sunday, September 17.
The family are still waiting on post-mortem results to see exactly what caused her death.
Ms Batty told BirminghamLive: ‘I gave Lucy her last bottle at 3.30am in the morning and everything was fine, I changed her nappy and put her back into bed. I woke up at 8am; that is the usual time she gets up for a feed, 7.30am or 8am, and I ducked my head into her cot and she was blue and not breathing.

‘My partner had to quickly do CPR while I was on the phone to the ambulance. They came, the police and everything came, obviously being a baby. We still don’t know her cause of death, it’s nearly been three weeks and the coroner still hasn’t taken her. We are just sort of in this loop.’
Lucy’s grandmother, Bev Batty, 53, has started a GoFundMe page to help pay for the funeral and keepsake bear for her older brother Ollie.
She said: ‘Yesterday my eight-week-old granddaughter Lucy Louise went to sleep and didn’t wake up.
‘Our precious baby girl has been taken from us. And as a family, we are struggling with why this has happened. Her mummy and daddy, and big brother Ollie, are devastated.
‘They are a low-income family and – while we will do our utmost best to give Lucie the best celebration of life that we possibly can, and a keepsake bear for Ollie.
‘I am asking family and friends near and far if at all possible to donate as much, or as little, as possible to help this happen. Our lives will never be the same without our princess, our hearts are shattered.’
