THESE five tiny tots have come into the world during 2020, surely the strangest year on record. 
Mostly born during lockdown, or during the earlier easing of restrictions, all these newborns have brought joy to their families as they battled Covid complications for new parents. 
Born at St Mary’s Maternity Unit in Poole, they are all happy and healthy at home awaiting a time when they can be introduced to extended family and close friends.
