The 17-month-old suffered barbaric injuries at the hands of his mother and her lover before he was left to die.
Connelly was recalled to prison in September for a breach of her licence conditions – the second time she’d been put back inside.
Her case has been referred to the Parole Board for a fifth time, reports the MailOnline.
If Connelly’s appeal is rejected she could be held in prison for up to two more years.
A source told the Mail: “Connelly believes the Parole Board will rule in her favour.”
Her legal team will reportedly insist she is not a danger to the public.
Connelly was recalled in 2015 after selling nude photos online.
She was then recalled again this year just over two years after last being released.
She is subject to 20 licence conditions, including having an electronic tag, disclosing all her relationships, having her internet activity monitored and obeying a curfew.
A spokesperson for the Parole Board said: “We can confirm the parole review of Tracey Connelly has been referred to the Parole Board by the Secretary of State for Justice and is following standard processes.
“Parole Board decisions are solely focused on what risk a prisoner could represent to the public if released and whether that risk is manageable in the community.”
Baby P – real name Peter – was killed in 2007. It later emerged the authorities missed 60 opportunities to save him.
Connelly pleaded guilty to causing or allowing the death of a child the following year.
Her lover Steven Parker was locked up for a minimum of 12 years in 2009 for torturing the tragic tot.
His brother, Jason Owen, received a six-year jail sentence for allowing Peter to die.
Following the child’s death, it emerged he had been tortured over an extended period despite being on the at-risk register.
He was subject to 60 visits from social workers, police officers and health professionals over an eight-month period.
