The defendant told the court she was feeding another baby at "roughly" 03:30, which involved changing a nappy and giving 55ml of milk via a nasogastric tube. Mr Myers said: "If that is ongoing do you have any reason to be in nursery one at or shortly before 3.50am?"The prosecution allege Ms Letby struck less than two hours after the extremely premature baby was born, weighing 692g.
