We asked for pictures of Preston's biggest babies, and they're beautiful

We reported yesterday that babies born at the Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust are some of the biggest in England

There were 3,605 babies born and weighed at the trust in the 12 months to March 2018, according to NHS Digital data. Of these, 13 per cent, or 455 babies, tipped the scales at 4kg or more - the equivalent of 8lb 13oz. Here are some of yours:
