Police and Health Department staff have issued appeals for the woman to come forward, but as yet have been unable to trace her.
The baby is said to be doing well and plans are currently being put in place for his future care and wellbeing. However, concerns have been raised about the wellbeing of the boy’s mother and Children’s Services have said they remain hopeful that she will contact the Hospital’s maternity unit, as she might be suffering complications following the birth.
A 24-hour-a-day helpline has been set up and the mother, or her family and friends, are being asked to call 442456 to make sure that she is safe and well.
Island GP surgeries have also offered to provide support free of charge to the woman.
A spokesperson for Children’s Services said: ‘We remain very concerned about the mother and still hope that she will come forward so we’re able to check that she’s in good physical health, and also offer emotional support.’
Police launched an investigation after the baby was left in the Hospital’s Emergency Department in the early hours of Sunday 18 March.
Anyone with any information is asked to call the States police on 612200.
