Lucy Letby: nurse offered to take photos of baby she had killed, court hears
Mid-September -
"The jury heard how the baby, who can only be named as Child I, had initially been unwell owing to her prematurity but that her mother felt she was well enough to go home when she was about six weeks old.
“I started to notice that she was looking different,” she said. “She was looking around the room now, taking it all in. I was able to sit her on my knee. I remember looking at her and thinking ‘We are going home’. She looked like a full-term baby. She didn’t look frail or small.”

Recap: Lucy Letby trial, Wednesday, January 25
"Child I was 'looking different' and was looking around, looking like 'a full-term baby', like 'she should be at home in her bed'.
"Child I improved and was transferred back to the Countess on October 17.
Child I 'didn't look herself' and it was like she was 'looking through me', the mother said to her mother."

"The prosecution say there were signs of "earlier hypoxic ischaemic damage – in other words,
the earlier attempts to kill her had caused brain damage resulting from a shortage of oxygen." (opening speech)

We heard similar statements from baby G's father:
"However, the father said, he "noticed something had changed about [Child G]."
He said while, prior to Child G's projectile vomiting incident, he would speak to her and she would smile in response. After the incident, he would speak to her, but she would not smile in response."
