A baby girl was reportedly rescued by the Turkish coast guard after she drifted out to sea.

The 10-month-old was in an inflatable crib when she floated about half a mile, the BBC reported.

The incident happened off the coast of Ayvacik, which is on the western tip of Turkey.

The girl's parents didn't realize she was gone until other beachgoers told them, the BBC reported, attributing the details to a state-run news agency.

The BBC did not report the girl's condition.
