These are the first babies of 2023 in the city of Antwerp, Mechelen, the Kempen and the Waasland: “Wonderful New Year’s gift” (Antwerp)
January 1 doesn’t just mean the start of a new year for Emma’s new parents, Tyson, Liyo and Aram. It is also the day when their children saw the light of day for the first time. The birth came a little earlier than expected, but all parents agree on one thing. “It’s a wonderful New Year’s gift.”
Mihai (39) and Alexandra Iacob (32) are very happy when they can hold daughter Emma in their arms for the first time. The short baby was born in Mechelen at 4 am, making it the first-born mane extinguisher of 2023. “To be honest, we didn’t plan or expect this. I still laughed that they would make me famous if I gave birth on January 1,” says Alexandra.

The surprise was once so great for Anke Renders and Kevin Vannoppen. Son Tyson was born fifteen days earlier than planned in the hospital in Geel. Sister Allison (3) is overjoyed with the arrival of her little brother, although the birth did not go smoothly for mama Anke. “At 2.15 pm in the afternoon Tyson was born. That is more than twelve hours, it was a long day.” Tyson Vannoppen was certainly not the Kempen dullness. That was Rukaiya Djamal Arouna in Turnhout, who saw the light of day on Sunday at 2.35 am.

Maxime and Peter from Deurne have also admitted their sixth child to ZNA Middelheim in addition to the new year. And although the waters had already broken on December 30, the boy was not even waiting. Liyo ends up in a warm nest with four sisters and a brother between the ages of 11 and 1.

At 6:29 a.m. on January 1, 2023, the first Wase baby of 2023 was born. Aram was born in the Vitaz hospital in Sint-Niklaas and weighs a healthy 2.9 kilograms and measures 50 centimeters. He is the son of fiery parents Masis Khachaturyan and Stepanyan Ruzanna, a couple from Sint-Niklaas with Armenian roots. “We are very happy and especially relieved that Aram came into the world safe and sound,” says father Masis.
