THERE were 240 babies born in Wirral in February 2024 – did you welcome a new arrival?

Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust collates all the baby-related data every month detailing how many babies are born – boys and girls – whether there are any sets of twins or triplets and how babies are delivered.

There are stats for the number of babies born at Wirral Women and Children’s Hospital and how many are born at home or at Seacombe Birth Centre as well as the how many new arrivals were breast fed.

They also record the busiest day each month for births and whether babies are born on their due date, a little early or a little late.

There were 240 babies born in Wirral last month – 112 boys and 128 girls with one set of twins.

Some 111 were vaginal births with 104 caesarean sections and 24 babies were born via ventouse or forceps delivery with 123 inductions.

There were three home or community births and three water births and 145 babies were breast fed.

Only seven babies arrived on their due date with 175 arriving early and 58 coming late.

February 19 was the busiest day of the month with 14 babies being welcomed into the world.
