The court previously heard how the baby boy's heart rate soared and his blood sugar dropped to a dangerously low level after the prescribed bag was connected to an intravenous line after midnight on 5 August 2015. Mr Myers went on to ask Ms Letby why she searched for the mother of Child F nine times on Facebook between August 2015 and January 2016, and the father on one occasion.
The court has heard that in mid-August, she was transferred from Wirral's Arrowe Park Hospital and was "clinically stable" until 7 September, when she projectile vomited at about 02:00 BST.Prosecutors allege Ms Letby overfed Child G with milk through a nasogastric tube or injected air into the same tube and made two more attempts to kill her on 21 September.
