Twenty-two-year-old Laura Fletcher has appeared before Wirral Magistrates this afternoon charged with the murder of her four-year-old daughter Chloe.
She spoke only to confirm her name, age and address and sat with her head bowed during the hearing.
Fletcher, from Oakdale Avenue in Poulton, was arrested after the body of her daughter Chloe was found at their home in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
Miss Fletcher was remanded in custody and will next appear at Liverpool Crown Court for a preliminary hearing on the morning of May 21.
No application was made for bail.
