THE first baby born on Christmas Day at Hillingdon Hospital was a girl to mother Sarbjit Kaur and father Harjinder Singh.

Born at 5.49am and weighing 7lb 1oz, she is yet to be named. The family are doing well.

As is tradition, Hillingdon Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust gives a bag of gifts to the family of the first child born on Christmas Day and New Year's Day in the Labour Ward and Midwifery-Led Unit.  

Midwife Ann Palmer, who was on duty, said: “We always look forward to greeting our Christmas babies. It’s an exciting time for all midwives and families on the ward.”
