A woman who tried to kill herself and her child by jumping 100ft from a bridge has been sentenced to 18 months in prison.
Angela Schumann, 28, of Leeds, plunged from the Humber Bridge with her daughter, Lorraine Tumalan-Schumann, in June last year.
German-born Schumann pleaded guilty to attempted murder at an earlier appearance at Hull Crown Court.
At the time of the incident the child was just three days short of her second birthday.
A dramatic rescue operation was sparked after a child's pushchair was found on a bridge walkway and the pair were eventually dragged from water after clinging to a life belt. They had spent 44 minutes in the water.
The Recorder of Hull, Judge Michael Mettyear, said: "This is one of the most difficult cases I have ever had to deal with.
"It is difficult because on the one hand you are an intelligent woman, you have no previous convictions and you pleaded guilty at the very first opportunity.
"On the other hand your conduct was very likely to kill your child. Of the 85 or so people who are known to have jumped off the Humber Bridge I was told that 80 died.
"It was a remarkable piece of luck that you and she survived relatively unscathed."
In a letter to the court, Schumann wrote that she was sorry for what had happened, and added: "I am forever grateful to those who saved my little princess."
