NEW babies are such a source of happiness and joy to both your family and wider circle of friends.

If you have had a new baby in the last few months, we would love to hear more, because the County Press features regular galleries with pictures of new babies born on the Isle of Wight.

Even if you recently entered our Child of the Year competition, we would love to hear from you, as our New Arrivals feature is a completely separate thing.

Although lockdown is slowly easing, having a young addition to the family can be tiring and it might still prove hard to go visiting friends and family to share your happy news with everyone.

It can also be difficult to find time to ring everyone and tell them the news, or take lots of photos and email them or post them on social media - particularly if your new mini-me is proving to be a bubbly little handful of mischief.

Everyone knows the birth of your beautiful new baby will be the beginning of an incredibly wonderful journey for you and your family and something you will want to celebrate.

We hope you enjoy this special time and make lots of lovely memories and here at the County Press, we would love to hear about your new arrivals and share pictures of them, either in the newspaper or online.

If you would like to tell the world about your new baby - or at least the Isle of Wight - you can submit pictures and details by clicking on the box below.
