The teenage parents of a baby who suffered a brain injury and broken bones have appeared in North Shore District Court on charges including causing grievous bodily harm and allowing wilful ill-treatment.

Aaron Allen, 18, and Natalia Shore, 19, were arrested after 6-week-old Sophia Shore was taken to Auckland's Starship Hospital at the end of January with serious injuries.

Police said Sophia had been discharged from hospital and was recovering well in Child Youth and Family care.
