The baby's natural parents, from Porth, were last seen in Rhydyfelin, South Wales, but their current location is unknown.

"It is believed they may attempt to travel out of the area so officers are also appealing to people living outside," South Wales police said.

Anyone with information is asked to contact South Wales Police using the reference *388908, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
