Dr Shazia said that she understood the pain of the parents as she was a mother herself and said that she was hopeful that the child will be recovered soon.
The MS has suspended six employees on duty while recommending disciplinary action against the nurses.
The mother of the child said she had fed him at 9 am and left him in the nursery. The police have launched an investigation into the abduction.
