The baby was given perhaps the most serene entrance into the world when his mother played the harp throughout labour.
Musical Morwenna Rose Louttit-Vermaat, 29, composed a song specially for baby Django earlier in her pregnancy and thought it would be a good distraction.
Morwenna, who has played the harp for 17 years, plucked her 31-string Celtic instrument until the last phase of her son's four-hour home birth.
It proved so successful in soothing her that she didn't realise she was anywhere close to giving birth until midwives told her she was into the final stage of labour.
Morwenna said: "It really helped me relax, so much so that I assumed I was just having pre-labour pains.
"I expected it to be a lot worse than it was. For the last hour I couldn't play any more because I was concentrating so hard and it just became too painful.
