A previous hearing heard Davis’ son Stanley Davis was admitted to hospital on March 21 last year and died a week later.

At the brief hearing today she entered a plea of not guilty over the 24-day-old infant’s death.

Samuel Davies, 23, of Mayfield Road, Southampton, also pleaded not guilty to the same offence.

The trial is expected to go ahead later this year.

Hampshire police launched an investigation in March last year over the child’s death.
