The family of a two-week-old girl who died in hospital say she “melted the hearts of everyone who met her” after a man was arrested on suspicion of her murder.
Felicity-May Harvey, from Heywood, Greater Manchester, died in hospital on 11 January.
Three days earlier, medics at the hospital called police to report their concern for her.
A 24-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder and has since been released on bail pending further inquiries, Greater Manchester Police said.
In a tribute released on Saturday, the little girl’s family said: “Our hearts are broken after losing our precious baby girl, Felicity-May.
“She was a gorgeous baby and always so alert, looking around with her big blue eyes.
“She was absolutely beautiful and incredibly brave and she melted the hearts of everyone who met her.
“What made her extra special was her cleft lip and palate and despite the challenges of this she was the most happy and content little girl.
“She was and always will be loved by her mum, sisters and family and there is a huge void in all our hearts and lives now that she has been taken from us.
“She was our special star, and it is not fair that she shone brightly for only a short time. When we look up at the sky, we will look through the clouds and know that the brightest star shining is our Felicity-May.
“Rest in peace baby girl. Sleep tight. Until we meet again, our precious angel.”
