Alfie was born to Bethany Moss and Owen Stanyer at Worcestershire Royal Hospital on October 31 last year, weighing 7lb 1oz.

Alfie

Bethany said: "Alfie stopped growing at my 38-week growth scan so I was booked in for induction.

"Apart from wearing a mask when walking around the corridors I couldn’t even tell anything was even going on. My partner was allowed to visit me whilst I was being induced.

"My induction failed and I needed a c-section when I was exactly 39 weeks – on Halloween."

And it was a good day for Alfie to be born, as Halloween is the same day his great nan Tina Homer’s birthday.
