A baby was discovered dressed in a sweater, wrapped in a sleeping bag, zipped into a suitcase and left near a hotel in Germany.

A passer by of the hotel reported the abandoned luggage to the hotel porter who informed hotel security.

The security guards partially opened the bag, but only saw clothes and stored the bag in the luggage room.

It wasn’t until a hotel porter heard whimpering coming from the room that the day-old baby was discovered.

German police are now on the hunt for the mother.

The infant is now being cared for at a hospital and is healthy despite being underweight.

Doctors examined the baby girl and said the umbilical cord of the baby had been tied with a thin thread which suggests the mother gave birth without medical help.
