A woman has been charged after a newborn baby was found seriously injured outside a Melbourne home.

The boy was discovered outside a Dandenong North address, in Melbourne's southeast, about 2.40am on August 30.

The newborn was initially taken to hospital in a critical condition.

She has been released on bail and will appear before Dandenong Magistrates Court on 5 December.
