WE can’t believe how cute this latest batch of new arrivals being welcomed to Hampshire is.
There are plenty of pictures of the county’s latest additions to enjoy in this feature, which brings you another helping of our popular New Arrivals page, which launched with a 12-page ‘lockdown babies’ special two months ago. 
These adorable youngsters are scattered across the county, born at five different maternity hotspots - Princess Anne Hospital in Southampton, Ashurst’s New Forest Birth Centre, Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester, Portsmouth’s Queen Alexandra Hospital and Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital.
They’re all looking simply irresistable, either posing on their own or with their proud new siblings. 
There are timely babies, early babies and late babies. One new mum went into labour on her birthday and one dad had to make a mad dash to be there for the birth.
Most of these tiny tots were born during lockdown or as restrictions have started to ease and have not been able to welcome their little ones into the world in quite the same way. So we’re doing it for them. 
Proud parents are asked to fill out the details of their new addition at dailyecho.co.uk/new-arrivals and we will feature 12 little Hampshire newborns every Thursday in paper and online.
