Jurors in the murder trial, which sees former nurse Lindsay Clancy accused of killing her three young children, notified the judge on Tuesday that they are unable to reach a unanimous decision on whether to convict her.
Ms Clancy is facing a murder charge following the deaths at her home in 2023.
The mother's legal team continue to insist she was suffering from postpartum psychosis at the time of the deaths.
Meanwhile, prosecutors continue to argue that the mother knew what she was doing.
Judge William Sullivan spoke to the jurors in Plymouth Superior Court after receiving the jury's note, instructing them to continue their deliberations.
The trial in question began six weeks ago, with deliberations now in their fourth day.
The state of Massachusetts does not permit a majority verdict, meaning any jury would have to deliver a unanimous decision.
"After many hours of deliberation, we are unable to come to a unanimous decision," the jury said in the note, read out by Judge Sullivan.
