44 babies born on Island in February

Including at least one on 'Leap Day'

Forty four babies – including one set of twins - were born on the Isle of Man in February.

Statistics from The Jane Crookall Maternity Wing show it welcomed 20 boys and 24 girls.

The lightest baby weighed 1.48kg and the heaviest baby weighed 4.4kg.

At least one baby was born on 29 February – or Leap Day – meaning, technically, their birthday will only fall once every four years.

In January the wing oversaw the birth of 49 babies – 25 boys and 24 girls.
