The girl was named Elsa by hospital staff after she was found in a shopping bag wrapped in a towel on the Greenway footpath in Newham on a night in January when temperatures dropped to -5C.
DNA tests revealed she had the same parents as a girl, temporarily named Roman, who was found next to a bench in a park near Roman Road, Newham, in January 2019. Like Elsa, she was found by a dog-walker in freezing temperatures wrapped in a towel inside a shopping bag.
Elsa and Roman also have an older brother, who was provisionally named Harry after he was found wrapped in a blanket in another east London park in Plaistow in September 2017.
The two older children have been adopted and given different names.
The parents of all three children have yet to be identified, as the Metropolitan police reiterated a call for anyone with information to come forward. In 2017, the police released footage of Harry as a three-month-old baby.
On Monday, a judge in a family court ruled that the relationship between the siblings could be reported because of the public interest of the case, due to the rarity of babies being abandoned.
