SamCam gets “broody” over baby Regan

David Cameron and wife Samantha have met their first baby of the election campaign.

As SamCam cuddled seven-week old Regan from Chorley in Lancashire the Prime Minister joked that she was looking a little “broody”.

“Want another one”, he added.

The Camerons – who have had four children, including severely disabled Ivan who died in 2009 – sympathised with the young couple about the pressure parenthood puts on sleep.

After Ms Jeffers, Regan’s mother, said she was nervous that their new daughter would be a worse sleeper than her son, two-year-old Finlay.

Mrs Cameron reassured her: “I thought that with my fourth, actually, I thought there was no way we were going to be lucky again. And she was fine.”

Mr Cameron interjected: “Our girls have been better sleepers than the boys.”

Asked about his “broody” quip afterwards, the Tory leader was quick to quash the idea of having a fifth child.

“Whenever I see a small baby I feel broody, but don’t worry – there’s nothing going to happen on that front.”
