The strike by health workers that entered its third week, has paralysed services across the country as the workers push for better working conditions.
Doctors joined nurses and clinical officers in the strike this week, as both the national and county governments threatened to sack them saying the strike was illegal.
The deaths of the babies was reported at the Margaret Kenyatta Mother Baby Wing of the hospital, where services have been scaled down due to the strike.
The hospital receives referral patients from Bomet, Narok, Baringo, Kericho, Nyandarua, Laikipia and Samburu counties.
The deaths were reported a week after patients with birth complications complained of being delayed to be taken to the theater due to shortage of staff.

Having been an avocado farmer for more than 20 years, Steven Githongo, 73, can tell you the good, bad and the ugly of the trade.
“I know for sure that raw avocados do not fetch much. There is also the challenge like going bad before you find a buyer. That is why I diversified into making avocado oil for sale,” he says.
Mr Githongo shares with The Smart Harvest and Technology some of the lessons he has learnt on production of avocado oil.

After doing research, last year, Githongo embarked on avocado oil production at his farm in Rongai, Nakuru County where he grows the fruit on large scale. He embraced value addition to reduce post harvest losses.
