GREENFIELD Abbi Pratt says her newborn son, Oskar, was determined to come into the world early on New Year’s morning, making him the first baby to be born at Baystate Franklin Medical Center in 2021.
Oskar D. Rockwell Pratt weighed 9 pounds, 14 ounces just after his birth at 6:40 a.m. His 6-year-old sister, Willow, waits for him at home in Leyden because the hospital is not allowing any visitors to the maternity ward as a health safety precaution amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
