Housemates of allegedly abandoned baby’s mum didn’t know she was pregnant

A newborn baby is fighting for its life after being found allegedly abandoned under a carport in Melbourne’s southeast overnight hours after it was born.

Police said the boy was discovered outside the home on Gladstone Rd in Dandenong North about 2.40am on Friday.

The infant’s mother, a 25-year-old woman, was taken to hospital where officers said she remained under police guard.

“We are ready to support her when she gets out of hospital.”

The housemate told Nine the new mother was a lovely woman who worked in aged care.
