In pictures: 16 babies new-born on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day since 2009

Buzzing dads and exhausted mums can be seen holding their brand new babies.

Many of them were snapped over the years by Derbyshire Times photographers at Chesterfield Royal Hospital, having just gone through one of life's most emotional experiences.

While others are shown at home, having already been given the all clear to leave the maternity unit with their tiny miracles.
