Potsdam celebrates: Leonardt is the Christmas baby 2024!

A very special event has illuminated the festive atmosphere in Potsdam: Little Leonardt was born in the early Christmas Eve at 3:22 a.m. in the "Ernst von Bergmann" clinic and is the first Christmas baby in 2024. The parents from Potsdam are overjoyed to be over this "little Christmas miracle", which was given to a weight of 3290 grams and a size of 49 centimeters. Both mother and child are well and recover after birth, as the clinic reports. "The birth of a child is always a unique moment, and if this coincides with the festive mood of Christmas, it makes this moment all the more magical," said midwife Lea, who supervised the newborn in the delivery room, according to the Tagesspiegel .

Leonardt is not just the first baby to be born on this special day in Potsdam; On Christmas Eve, a total of two children were born in the clinic. This is a remarkable fact at a time when the birth rate in the region decreases. In the third quarter of 2024, only 335 babies were born in Potsdam, around 100 fewer than in the previous year. Nevertheless, the bright smile of the proud parents does not go unnoticed. They look forward to the time together with their new family member and wish for Leonardt only the best as well as the Maz reported
