Calling all proud parents!

It's been a challenging year for us all, with life as we know it on hold during multiple lockdowns.

It's not something we'll forget in a hurry - and certainly not if you've had a baby since the pandemic started.

If you've become a parent during lockdown in the past year, or maybe friends or family members have celebrated a newborn, let us know by sharing the happy news below.

You can fill in our easy online form below or you can email shruti.sheth@newsquest.co.uk with pictures and details about your new baby including the name, parents' names, place of birth, where you live, the hospital your baby was born at and, if you wish to share it, your baby's delivery story.

We are putting together a special feature in the Reading Chronicle soon on all your new arrivals, and we would love to hear from everyone who has welcomed their bundles of joy into the world during these difficult times.
