God, these are heartbreaking.
Mother of Baby C
"Knowing his murderer was watching us was like something out of a horror story."
The mother of Baby C remembered the "overwhelming wave of emotion" she felt when she first held Baby C, whom she called "my tiny feisty boy". He was murdered on 14 June, 2015.
She wore her first-born's hand and footprints around her neck after his death. But when Letby was arrested she felt "so conflicted" - the nurse had been the one to take those prints.
She cried as she spoke of the impact Letby has had on her family: "There is no sentence that will ever compare to the excruciating agony that we have suffered as a consequence of your actions."
Father of Baby G
"Her condition affects every aspect of our lives."
Baby G was left severely disabled by Letby. The nurse was found guilty of attempting to murder her twice, in September 2015.
"Every day I would sit there and pray. I would pray for God to save her. He did. He saved her, but the devil found her," her father said of their time in hospital.
The court heard Baby G is now registered blind, has cerebral palsy and progressive scoliosis. Her father said she needs substantial care and that her mother only gets about two hours of sleep a night.
"We see other families and their children fishing, playing football, other things we can't do. She will never have a sleepover, go to high school, have a boyfriend, get married."
