A woman has been charged with attempted murder following the discovery of a newborn baby boy in a drain in Sydney's west.
The 30-year-old woman has been refused bail and is set to appear in Blacktown Local Court today.
Despite earlier estimates that the boy was 2-3 days old, police will now allege that he is seven days old and was placed into the drain on Tuesday, 24 hours after being born.
The baby is now in a serious but stable condition at the Westmead Children's Hospital.
