SAY hello to these delightful babies bringing joy to proud new parents and excited siblings during the coronavirus pandemic. 

We would like to introduce you to these 24 bundles of joy, who were born in Bournemouth and Poole, Christchurch and the New Forest in very unprecedented circumstances.

So a Big Congratulations from us and a warm welcome to all your new arrivals as they enter the world.

During lockdown, hundreds of parents across our patch have been welcoming their babies into the world at St Mary’s Maternity Unit, Poole Hospital, the New Forest Birth Centre, at other hospitals and at home.

Proud new parents were unable to show off their newborn babies during lockdown and are now just beginning to introduce them to their wider families and friends, so we are sharing a little slice of your joy and sharing them with you. 

We will be featuring your newborn babies every Thursday in the Bournemouth Echo and in our online gallery at bournemouthecho.co.uk

We would love to see pictures of your brand new bundle of joy and hear all about the day they arrived at home or across Dorset’s hospitals and birth centres. 

To tell us about your little one, fill out our super-easy form and send in your photograph to bournemouthecho.co.uk/my/ccn/questionnaire/LCetdiXb/
