A virus-free Bromley mum was banned from seeing her newborn due to distressing Covid rules - forcing her to sniff his baby clothes to maintain her breast milk and bond. Charlotte Jones, 29, was unable to see six-week-old Leo for six days after being rushed to hospital with gastritis and a blood infection. She was breastfeeding - but claims when she asked if her baby could be brought to her for food, she was told it was not allowed. Photos show baby Leo snuggling up to his mother s dressing gown at home with his dad Matt, 37, to help him maintain a bond with his mum.
