The child was thought to be a few days old, according to officers.
A post-mortem examination took place but was inconclusive, the force said, with further tests due to be carried out to establish the cause of the baby's death.
Jia Xin Teo, 21, was charged with murder and appeared before Coventry Magistrates' Court on Saturday, where she was remanded to appear before Warwick Crown Court today.
