Madison lost her 10-month-old baby boy. She claims it was avoidable and that one hospital is to blame

A distraught young mother has lashed out after her baby died at Rockingham Hospital in Western Australia. 

Perth woman Madison Dansey said doctors did not take her fears about baby Louis' worsening health conditions, such as seizures, seriously until it was too late.

Louis, who died aged 10 months, would have turned one year old on April 17, but the cause of his death is still not known.

Ms Dansey said the baby boy was admitted to Rockingham Hospital 12 times and after three of his discharges, Louis had to be brought back again within hours.

'It was like they were just looking straight through me, and they couldn't take me seriously and I feel like because I am a young mum they don't really listen to us that much,' she told 7News.

Ms Dansey claimed that while doctors treated Louis' symptoms, they did not try to find the cause of his illness.

She took her baby to Perth Children's Hospital where he was tested for epilepsy and referred to a neurologist - a specialist doctor who diagnoses and treats conditions of the brain, spinal cord and nerves.

But Louis did not live long enough to be take to that appointment.

'I think if they had looked into it more they could have saved his life and he could still be here now,' his heartbroken mum said.

A South Metropolitan Health Service spokesman told Channel 7 that the correct policies and procedures were followed. 

But given the complexity and the outcome  the service would 'further review the patient's history'.

Samantha Smith of the Health Consumers' Council said if parents feel they're not being heard, they can phone the hospital's dedicated care call line. 

'They're there to review your care and to review and listen to your concerns and escalate your treatment,' she said.
