Calling all proud parents!

We would love to see your pictures of your brand new bundle of joy.

Many of you will have greeted your new baby during lockdown, a very different and daunting experience.

Hopefully you and your babies have been able to enjoy grandparent cuddles and a fuss from friends now.

Maybe you have a unique birth story to tell or would like to share your gratitude to hospital staff.

Share your happy news and photos with readers, and create a keepsake which you and grandparents can treasure or your little one can look back on.

You can fill in our simple Q&A or you can email claire.pierce@newsquest.co.uk

In these strange times, who could resist a smile on seeing some of the cute faces of the region's newest residents?

A new baby is definitely a reason to be cheerful.
