Say hello to these totally adorable newborns who came into the world amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Leah Keeping welcomed Iris Jane Ealey on January 22, weighing 7lb 8oz.

"She's just perfect and we're the happiest little family of three."
Melody Pearl Da Luz arrived on February 27 in St Mary's maternity unit in Poole Hospital.

On September 27 2020, Isobelle Phoebe Lynn Corkett was born, weighing 8lb 10oz.
Mum Katt Corkett said: "We waited for a space in the delivery suite, got in and had my waters broke. Just a few hours later Isobelle was born, making us a family of six.
"She's an absolute joy to be around and her siblings are all smitten. I can't thank the staff at Poole Hospital enough for keeping everything as normal as they could for mums to be."
