Constance Marten, 36, and her Mark Gordon, 49, are facing trial at the Old Bailey in London after their newborn, Victoria, was found dead in a disused shed in Hollingdean, Brighton, on March 1 last year.
It is alleged the couple travelled across England and lived off-grid on the South Downs in a bid to keep the baby after four other children were taken into care.
The pair, who are also charged with child cruelty, concealing the birth of a child and perverting the course of justice, deny all the charges.
The jury was sent home on Wednesday evening and told to return on Monday morning for the prosecution case to continue.
The trial before Judge Mark Lucraft KC is expected to go on until March 8.
