When he was first born, I didn't even notice the hair, I just cared about my baby. "It wasn't until we were alone on the ward that I really saw how much of it there was. I'm very surprised that he hasn't lost any of it, it has actually just stayed really blonde and is a completely full head of hair."

I am loving the positivity that we are getting." Spending every day with Lewis, she says she is constantly stopped by people who recognise him from social media. "Whether I am dropping my daughter off at school, shopping or on the Metro, people say they have seen him on Facebook or TikTok and wanted to say hello.

"I have been sharing things with my friends and family and with everyone else on social media. The reception has been so heart-warming."
