A woman who abandoned her newborn son on a doorstep in Queensland won't face criminal charges.
The baby, dubbed Moses, was found tucked in a wicker basket left at the door of a family's home at Logan, south of Brisbane, on Saturday.
With him were supplies of nappies, bottles and formula.
Police immediately began searching for the child's mother.
They found the woman, in her 20s, on Sunday.
She has since undergone health and welfare checks in hospital but it is not known if she has been reunited with the child.
Police say they are satisfied "there was no criminality" involved in the surrender of the baby and supplies for his care were also left.
The boy remains in hospital because he is underweight.
The Logan family who found him dubbed him Moses, a reference to the biblical prophet who was also found in a basket as a baby.
The family has said it's prepared to raise the child but his fate will likely be decided by child safety authorities.
