Actor Desmond Tan welcomes first baby, says army training helped prepare him for the delivery room

After 26 hours of labour, their daughter was born, weighing 2.9kg.

“She has big eyes, double eyelids, very cute little lips, a very sharp chin and a lot of hair,” Desmond said, adding that he thinks she currently looks more like his wife.

Of course, she didn’t look quite like that when she first came into the world. Instead, she looked more like a “bloody, wrinkly baby that looks like a miniature 1,000-year-old human being”. 

“I was like, ‘Okay, this is my creation’,” the actor quipped.
