Tomorrow's programme follows the stories of three single mums and how they struggle to cope alone with a sick baby.
One mum contracted swine flu when she was 20 weeks pregnant and her baby son was was born at 27 weeks old. She fights for her life, while her son unfortunately does not survive.
Dr Chris Dewhurst of the Baby Hospital says:, ';We have single mums with no dad, mum with a new partner, mum being supported by grandparents, so we’re used to all different types of families here.
'It’s extremely difficult having a new baby, but if you are on your own and you have a baby who is sick, or who’s been sick, then I think that must be very, very difficult.'
Baby Hospital is aired every Tuesday at 9pm on ITV.
