The court was also informed that the defence will file a bail application, while the State is expected to serve disclosures on the defence.
The State previously objected to bail due to the domestic relationship between the accused pair and the victim, as well as the potential risk of interference.
It is alleged that the pair unlawfully and maliciously caused grievous harm to the child by assaulting him with an electrical extension cord on September 8th.
The matter will return to court on November 4th.
