Letby was working the day shift on 23 June and came on duty at 7.30am.
She was the designated nurse for Children O and P - two of three triplets.
"This gave her an open opportunity to sabotage the babies," prosecutor Nick Johnson KC says, although Letby was also supervising a student nurse at the time.
Their triplet brother - who is not mentioned in the indictment - was in a separate room, as he was deemed "the most needy" of the triplets.
As of 9.30am there was no cause for concern and there are three records of feeds made by Letby.
Prior to Child O's collapse, a colleague said to Letby: "He doesn’t look as well now as he did earlier.
"Do you think we should move him back to room one to be safe?"
Letby did not concur, the court is told.

But data from her phone shows she was sending Facebook messages and the door recorded her as entering the unit at 2.39pm.
Nick Johnson tells the jury: "Whether the timing of that observation is correct or accurate may be a matter we will consider in the evidence."
Within a few minutes of her entry onto the ward, Child O suffered his first collapse.
Letby was alone in his room at the time, the prosecution says.
A breathing tube was inserted and he was successfully resuscitated. He was then kept on a ventilator.
At 3.49pm his oxygen levels fell again. Letby's notes suggest it was she who called for help.
Child O suffered a further collapse at 4.15pm and resuscitation attempts were unsuccessful.
He died a short while after.
