Harrison Parker Niblett was born at King’s Mill Hospital, Sutton, at 6.03am on Christmas Day, weighing 8lb 11oz.

He is the first baby for Shirebrook couple Chloe (29), a fitness manager, and Blake Niblett (30), who is a mechanical engineer.

Chloe said: “Harrison was 13 days late and, when my labour started at 4am on Christmas Eve, we didn’t think we wanted a Christmas Day baby, but actually it’s been really special and he arrived just in time for present opening. His first present was a handknitted rainbow from his auntie.

“All my care has been really positive. Staying in on Christmas has been much better than I thought it would be and I’ve received loads of thoughtful gifts from the ward too – thank you!”

A spokesperson for Sherwood Forest Hospitals said: “Congratulations to all our families who have welcomed new arrivals over the festive period and thank you to all of our colleagues who are working hard to keep our vital services running over the bank holidays.”
