Had I hurt my baby?
Zoe Picknett, 25, Redcar, North Yorkshire
Gently placing my newborn baby girl, Teddy, into my mum’s arms, I supported her head as I passed her over.
‘Careful!’ I said.
‘Don’t fret so much, ’ Mum replied, smiling.
Like most first-time mums, I was a bundle of worry.
Luckily my Mum, Maureen, then 60, was a dab hand, after having six kids of her own.
‘Isn’t she beautiful?’ Mum cooed, peering into the furry pink blanket as Teddy slept soundly.
It was October 2019, and I loved having a big family around me.
There was always someone to watch Teddy while I nipped to the loo
