A Sydney naturopath charged after allegedly giving advice to a mother who almost starved her eight-month-old baby to death has appeared in court.

Marilyn Pauline Bodnar, 60, is charged with recklessly causing grievous bodily harm and aiding or abetting the baby boy's mother, who cannot be named for legal reasons.

On Friday Magistrate David Degnan rejected a bid from Bodnar's defence to have witnesses including the boy's mother and doctors cross-examined during the committal and adjourned the matter to return to Campbelltown Local Court on July 6.
