THERE were 198 babies born under Warrington and Halton Hospital Teaching Hospitals last month.
Warrington and Halton Teaching Hospitals 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 monthly stats for the lightest baby and the heaviest baby and which is the busiest day of each month for new arrivals.
Some 198 new arrivals were born at Warrington Hospital or at home in the 10th month of 2024 – 112 boys and 86 girls.
The lightest baby born in September weighed 2lb 8oz (1,150g) and the heaviest baby topped the scales at 10lb 11oz (4,865g).
The busiest day for babies being born last month was October 24 when 12 babies made an appearance.
Four babies were born in the Nest – the midwifery-led unit – together with 40 elective Caesarean sections and 56 unplanned Caesarean sections.
There were 76 vaginal births and 26 assisted deliveries and some 42 per cent of babies were induced.
Two babies were born at home and there were six water births with 79 per cent of babies being breast fed and 82 per cent of babies experiencing skin to skin at birth.
These babies feature in an online article every month and will also appear in a special supplement at the start of next year.
