Baby of the week: Falkirk tot Millar McCracken

Mum Vicky Griffiths is a stay at home mum, while dad Jamie McCracken is a car valeter. The family live in Falkirk.

Mum said the pregnancy was perfect with no sickness. She said: “Millar is an IVF baby and he is our world.”

He was born by c-section at 37 weeks four days as mum had high blood pressure. Millar spent two weeks in NICU due to low blood sugar and low temperature.

Mum and dad chose the name Millar as one of Vicky’s pals has a grandson with that name and when she mentioned it they loved it. Dad wanted to call him Arthur, but mum wasn’t keen on that name.

Millar is such an active baby wanting to be on his feet and he’s not even crawling yet. He is always fake laughing and coughing. Mum said his character is “as cheeky as they come”.

Millar’s grandparents are all in heaven sadly, but mum’s aunty Pamela Hardwick and uncle Tony adore him.

Mum and dad would like to thank the staff at Forth Valley maternity and NICU as they were all so kind and nothing was too much.
