A post-mortem has been carried out on the body of a baby girl found at Hutt Valley property but police say it'll take some time to establish the exact circumstances of her death.
The baby was discovered in the back yard of a Taita Drive property on Monday morning.
Police located the baby's mother yesterday and say their investigation is continuing.
Inspector Shane Cotter says it's too early to speculate on whether any charges will be laid.
The mother remains in hospital being treated for birthing complications.
