TODAY we introduce another darling group of newborn babies.

Parents face unique struggles and joys bringing up a newborn in a pandemic, and here they have shared their photos and stories.

All these tiny tots came into the world at Poole Hospital's St Mary's Maternity Unit.

They are all now happy and healthy at home in Dorset.

Firstly, say hello to Oscar James Rowland, Kimberley Rowland's third child.

Oscar was born on May 28, weighing 8lb 50z after mum Kimberley spent four hours in labour.

Kristy Thompson welcomed her sixth child Antalya Montana Thompson into the world on February 28.

Kristy said: "Our baby girl was our sixth baby and we didn't find out what we were having. We already have five boys together.

"Finally, after a very long labour, our little girl was born at 17.57pm. We were both in so much shock but so happy to finally have a little girl after 16 years of having just boys."

Antalya is now the youngest sibling to Charlie, Harvey, Tayson, Chace and Rome.

On March 8, Sophie Squibb welcomed Maeve Reagan Melissa Hood into the world, weighing 6lb 8oz.

Nelly Valentina Mizen was born on January 25 to mum Eleni Barnes, who said: "She's the best thing to happen to our family and has definitely completed it."

Finally, we say hello to Alana Street.

Kirsty Street gave birth to Alana on February 24.

Kirsty said: "Alana made a super quick arrival into the world 16 days early, just in time to celebrate her big brother Finley's first birthday."
