The horrifying attack came to light when she ran screaming into the street in the Bangpakong district where she was discovered by neighbours who the alerted police.
Suaykratok is under police supervision in a critical condition in hospital along with the daughter while the baby is in a stable condition.
Her cousin Sittipong Buangam, 24, said: ‘’I was washing dishes in the backroom and heard a crying so I went to see. My young nephew was crying with a lot of bleeding. So I quickly picked him up from the couch and saw that the mother was holding the knife in her hand.
‘’I saw my cousin holding a knife lying on the ground outside. Other people in the village saw her and thought there had been a car crash.’’
