The mother said she and her husband rushed down to the unit and saw a doctor resuscitating child D, with Letby holding a phone to his ear.The court heard the mother’s waters had broken on June 18 2015 but she was not given a Caesarean section until two days later, on June 20, after attempts to induce labour.When child D was delivered she looked “lifeless” and following the operation the mother was worried because the baby seemed to be limp, struggling to breathe and not an even colour, she said.
She said doctors told her child D was “up and down” but were happy with her progress once she was treated on the unit.
