The newborn was given an oxygen mask and ventilator.
The little boy’s parents Ellyse and Charlie Little appeared on GMB to discuss their son beating the virus.
What did they say?
Ellyse said: “It was a bit touch and go at the beginning. It was heartbreaking but we’re just glad he’s here now.
“He was given a lot of medication and we think he was given a little boost and he was able to get through it in the end.”
Dad Charlie revealed he didn’t sleep or eat throughout the terrifying ordeal.
He said: “It was definitely the most worrying time of our lives. Not being able to see him didn’t help the situation.”
Speaking about the staff who saved their son’s life, Charlie said: “Brilliant. All of the NHS to be fair.”
Ellyse added: “Our local hospital saved him and then Great Ormond Street carried on the work.
“It was a joint effort.”
Meanwhile, Susanna Reid gushed: “He looks healthy and happy doesn’t he.”
