A drug-addicted mother has tearfully admitted she 'wasn't a top mum' as an inquest examines the sudden deaths of her two children.
The two half-sisters, who were three months and 19 days old respectively, died in 2014 and 2015.
The young woman admitted in Glebe Coroners Court on Monday to having an ice addiction since she was 13, saying she was coming down off drugs and had become lazy the day her older child died.
'I wasn't a top mum, I would change many things,' she told the court.
Deputy State Coroner Harriet Grahame said the inquest's tasks were to learn lessons to help other vulnerable mothers who needed support.
Police found an ice pipe on top of a baby bottle and an autopsy found no suspicious injuries.
However, the court heard a drug dealer who came to the house the night before the tragedy put his hands on the crying baby's mouth to make her 'shut up'.
