And there's worse to come, as it's dad Steve who is the one who gives his son too much of a prescription drug.
The Mirror says: "Doctors suspect the seriously ill tot could have meningitis – until they realise he’s had too many doses of baby drugs including antihistamine.
"The mix-up is caused by a breakdown in communications after Oliver had been with both parents during the day. Each parent gives him medicine but neither mentions to the other parent what they have given.
“It is a very emotional storyline and aimed at warning parents who have split but share care of their children that they need to communicate for the safety of the child.”
The scenes will play out on screen next month.
Luckily for Steve and Leanne doctors give their baby the all clear and say he’ll have no lasting damage – but Steve is left in no doubt that his son’s life could have been in jeopardy.
