It's time to celebrate more of Dorset’s new arrivals.

Most of them came into the world at Dorset County Hospital (DCH) in Dorchester - and their parents are absolutely thrilled with their new sons and daughters.

We think this little lot of lovelies are a treat to see and no wonder their parents are so chuffed with them.

Scroll down to find out how to feature your newborn baby in the Dorset Echo free of charge.

 

Dorset Echo:

Kestrel Emily Brodzig, born May 12 at DCH weighing 6lb 4oz to Bryony Bell and Shaun Brodzig of Crossways. Little sister to brother Wulf.

Bryony tells us: "At late night we were woken to contractions and anxiously sprung our planned and planned again action plan into action. I was welcomed in alone and checked in before my Shaun was allowed to join, shortly we had a pleasant surprise when Shelly the midwife who had looked after me from start to finish came in smiling behind her mask. She even stayed on after her shift to see my daughter born. We had such a calm birth, everything was perfect, if different from what we had thought. Thank you team DCH."

 

Dorset Echo:

Isaac Arthur Park, born April 1 at DCH weighing 7lb 13.5 oz to Rebecca and Anthony Park of Weymouth. Little brother to Jacob.

Dorset Echo:

George Robert Whight, born March 25 at DCH weighing 4lb 15oz to Amy Cooke and Thomas Whight of Charminster.

Amy tells us: "George was born 6.5 weeks premature in Dorchester hospital, 2 days after lockdown was announced. Mummy, daddy and George all spent the first 4 weeks after birth in SCBU, and all came out of hospital into a different world. George is a happy, healthy, gorgeous little boy, who is loved by so many. We cannot wait until George can finally cuddle all his friends and family."

Dorset Echo:

Poppy Elizabeth Lee, born April 11 at DCH weighing 7lb 12oz to Holly Real and James Lee of Wareham.

Holly said: “Poppy is our first born and definitely not how we imagined it. I was induced and had to go through this on my own until I was considered in active labour, luckily I had the lovely midwives of Dorchester to comfort me with back rubs and kind words through their PPE. James was finally allowed in a day and a half later but on strict rules to not leave the room we were in.

"After a long labour Poppy finally arrived at 6.54am and we spent the night in a private room in which we also couldn’t leave.

"Once we got the ok to go home on the way we paid a visit to the grandparents to see our new bundle of joy through the window, it was heartbreaking.” 

 

Dorset Echo:

Henry Robert Gates, born May 18 at DCH weighing 7lb 10oz to Anna Barnard-Woods and Jason Gates of Dorchester. Little brother to Archie & Freddie Hunter and Jessie & Bradley Gates.

Anna says: "I went into Dorchester hospital on the morning of the 18th May for an elected csection, I was a little nervous as both my previous births had resulted in emergency sections but I have to say all of the staff were amazing and it all went very smoothly.

"Henry was born at 38 weeks, 2 weeks before his due date which would have pretty much been my birthday so I got the best early birthday present ever."
