A BOLTON mum featured in the BEN after thieves took baby clothes for her unborn child has given birth to a healthy boy.

Rebecca Feeney not only had the difficulties of going through her first pregnancy, she had to cope with trauma of thieves trashing her home.

But BEN readers stepped forward to donate baby gear.

Rebecca, aged 23, of Blair Lane, Breightmet, has given birth to baby Theo Jerome, who weighed in at a healthy 8lbs 2oz.

She said: "I will always be really grateful to the people who helped me.

"I was in such a state.

"Now thanks to those kind people, I don't have to worry about clothing my beautiful baby."

BEN readers replaced stolen teddy bears, clothes, an intercom monitor, dummies and bottles with steriliser.

Rebecca, a single mum, just could not afford to replace them on her own after the burglary when she was living in a rented house in Tonge Moor.
