A delivery driver was forced to apologise after he dumped a 22lb (10kg) grocery parcel on top of a sleeping baby in a pram.
The mother had left her child in a pushchair outside her house in Sweden when the large Hello Fresh package was placed on the infant.
It is common to leave your baby sleeping in a pram outside in Scandinavian countries – even in cold weather – as they believe it brings the youngster health benefits.
The mother said in an Instagram post: ‘Congratulations, you crushed a sleeping baby in its pram with a 10kg parcel and have no shame. Thank God the baby is OK! Never again!’

Social media blogger Camilla Gervide shared the case on her website Bloggbevakning and said that the mother had complained to Gordon Delivery, the firm responsible for the grocery service.
It was said that the mother was initially offered 250 Swedish krona, equivalent to £20, in compensation.
Mikael Sahlsten, a spokesman for the business, told the Aftonbladet newspaper that the driver wanted to leave the parcel in a dry area and thought the pram, which was by the front door, would be suitable.
He added that the employee did not see the sleeping baby and was ‘very sorry’. The driver went back to the house to apologise, bringing the mother flowers and chocolate.
The mother wrote in another Instagram post that she had been given two free deliveries after the incident and that the man had been ‘almost in tears’ on her doorstep.
