Nappy start to the New Year

BABY Christopher and mum Victoria.

THE New Year brought new life for nine local families.

They were celebrating special deliveries on January 1 with the first baby born at the Royal Oldham Hospital in 2011 arriving at 3.11am.

Next came bonny boy Christopher, weighing 6lb 4oz, with mum Victoria Lamb, from Middleton, giving birth at 9.07am.

Among the other new arrivals were Tierna Louise, at 7lb 10oz, to mum Danielle Massey, from Chadderton, while Terri Kershaw, from Oldham, gave birth to Lacie, weighing 7lb 3oz.

Midwife Julie Glynn said all the mothers and babies were doing well, adding: “It was a really busy day.”

The last bundle of joy making an appearance on New Year’s Day arrived at 11.10pm.
