MEET the cutest clutch of new arrivals welcomed to Dorset amid the coronavirus pandemic.

These tiny tots were born in Poole and Dorchester between August and October this year.

After five days in hospital and two days in NICU, Shaunie Adams, mother to Niall, was able to return home.

Paddy's mum Carly Morey said: "Paddy was born at 9.18am on August 27. It was a scary experience during the pandemic but relaxing and lovely midwife's and doctors helped to ease my anxiety."

Evie Cox was born three weeks before the second lockdown and her mum Leah said: "Her birth was good considering all the changes in the hospital environment and rules regarding birth partners. The staff were amazing and so caring throughout my labour and overnight stay.

"Even amongst all the madness right now I was made to feel so comfortable and cannot fault a thing from start to finish."

Jess Rayment gave birth to Caison Raven on October 25 at St Mary's Maternity Unit, Poole.
