The baby whose mother died while trying to protect her from a knife attack at a Sydney shopping centre earlier this month has been released from hospital.
Ashlee Good was shopping with 9-month-old Harriet on the afternoon of Saturday, 13 April.
They were the first people to be attacked at random by knifeman Joel Cauchi who was eventually shot dead by a police officer, after killing six people and injuring 12 more.
Good begged for people to help her daughter, and later died from her injuries.
"Harriet Good was also stabbed...she was in intensive care for a while...she's now essentially being released from hospital with chest and arm injuries, but she's out of the danger zone."

"She'll probably never recall what happened, but when she's old enough and she learns about what her mom did and what others did, I hope she has that sense of pride."

Gilchrist adds that a GoFundMe campaign, set up in Ashlee Good's name to raise money for Baby Harriet, has already reached $700 000.
"The attack has horrified Australia."
