The new year started off with a bang for one West Orange family.

Justin and Ana Jacinto welcomed baby boy Milo Philip into the world at 1:20 a.m. He was Orlando Health Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women and Babies’ first baby of the new year.

Milo weighed 7 pounds, 10 ounces, and measured 20 inches long.

In honor of this special occasion, the Central Florida Diaper Bank donated diapers for a year (about 3,600) to the family. The organization advocates for and encourages healthy growth, nutrition and development for children from newborn to age 3 and promotes self-sufficiency for at-risk families by identifying needs and providing the appropriate resources.

“It’s a joy to partner with Orlando Health for the third year in a row to give this gift to a family in our community and help them in this new, precious chapter of life,” said Sharon Lyles, executive director of the Central Florida Diaper Bank.
