Mr Myers says none of the other staff, including Dr Ukoh, give a discolouration description for Child M.
He says Child M did make a good recovery, gradually, from the collapse.
He says the significant issue is Letby's last contact with Child M is when she is involved with administering antibiotics at 3.45pm, and if air has been administered at that time, he says it would not take 15-16 minutes to have effect.
He says air embolus is fast acting.
He says the amount of air alleged to be administered in this case is 0.5ml.
He says if there was an intention to kill, it would have been larger.
He asks how someone would measure 0.5ml or calculate it.
He says even a minute quantity would have a quick impact.
He says fortunately, neither twin of Child L or Child M appeared to have suffered harm as a consequence.
He says the theory of air embolus is "utterly unrealistic" for Child M.

Mr Myers refers to the case of Child N, for which there are three counts alleged against Lucy Letby. He outlines the events for Child N, who had haemophilia.

Mr Myers says Professor Sally Kinsey said Child N was more likely to suffer a bleed from trauma than babies who do not have haemophilia, and the amount of blood would be larger.
Prof Kinsey had said the process of instrumentation had the potential to cause bleeding, such as a naso-gastric tube.
Mr Myers says the Countess of Chester Hospital did not have Factor 8 for Child N at birth.
He says for the first Child N event, for which it is alleged there was trauma and/or an air embolus, he asks if Letby was even there.

so ignore my musings
I'm glad you and baby k have came out the other side. Breastfeeding can be such a minefield at times. I see a lady from the infant feeding team and she is amazing. She was the one who helped me sort positioning when the hospitals way had had me crying in pain for 4 days when he was born. She sorted me within 30mins and it wasn't painful. I do have a fast let down so I stem the flow a bit by pressing gently on my boob when he first latches on
🫣 within a 24 hour period. That has definitely made me have a wobble with child G.
). A few things could be exacerbating it so best to ensure it’s still not any of these things; tongue tie, shallow latch, fast let down. Sometimes it’s just their floppy valve and the older they get it self-corrects. As you say you have a fast flow, sometimes leaning back or doing koala position can help this, or letting milk flow into a muslin for the first bit before latching him. If latch & position is good then you can get omeprazole and gaviscon from GP but I’ve found they’re a nightmare to get into breastfed baby & cause constipation but your baby might be more receptive than mine! Is there an infant feeding team in your area? They’re so so helpful. If it’s affecting his weight gain, then your GP should refer to paediatrician and dietician. PS There is a rare condition called pyloric stenosis which does affect more boys so if you’re worried about him then best to get him checked over to exclude this also. Sending you solidarity, it’s an absolute nightmare 
are generally quite mucousy and haven't really changed consistency for a while and there usually isn't a lot of it. I'll phone the doctors and see what they can do for us
