AND they are back! During lockdown, The Press regularly featured photos and stories of babies born during the pandemic.

They brought a ray of sunshine and hope at such a bleak time for everyone.

Well now we are bringing our New Babies feature back!

Thanks to all the parents who have been sending in pictures of their new arrivals.

And for sharing their stories - including Daniel and Charlotte Freeman whose baby was born in Scarborough because they could not be admitted to York Hospital because of staffing issues.

If you have had a new baby born in November, then please send us your photo and story - details at the end of this story!
