BABIES born during the coronavirus pandemic have been bringing a ray of sunshine and hope to families in Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch.
Pandemic restrictions have left many mum's labouring without their partners until in active birth (and many dad's have arrived with just seconds to spare).
And you have been telling us how frustrating this has been and how you have been unable to show off your newborn to family and friends in the usual way.
So we want to share your baby news with our readers and your wider circle of family and friends.
Parents are now sharing photos of their new arrivals with the Bournemouth Echo and we want more families to do the same to put a smile on our readers’ faces.
We will be sharing your new arrivals every Thursday online and in print.
