Life can be a struggle for any new parent.
So spare a thought for Victoria Coren Mitchell and David Mitchell, who have just had their second child in middle age.
The TV presenter, 51, and her comedian husband, 49, were seen stepping out with daughter June Violet on Thursday for the first time since her birth late last month.
The pair, who announced the surprise news last week after keeping the pregnancy secret, pushed a blue buggy as they went for a stroll and ran some errands in London.
They already have an eight-year-old daughter, Barbara.

Ms Coren Mitchell revealed the news of June’s arrival on X, formerly Twitter, at the start of this month, and it was confirmed with an announcement in The Times.
It read: ‘Mitchell on 26th October to Victoria and David, a daughter, June Violet, sister to Barbara.’
Mitchell met his wife-to-be – who hosts BBC2 quiz show Only Connect – at a party in 2007 and they married in 2012.
Despite making several public appearances during her pregnancy, Ms Coren Mitchell managed to conceal the news until her announcement on X.
In recent weeks, Victoria hinted at her upcoming maternity leave as she cryptically tweeted about taking a ‘little sabbatical’ away from her work as a TV host.
She told how she had pre-recorded some TV shows, including her hosting gig on Only Connect, as she shared her last TV column in The Telegraph before her break.
Victoria wrote: ‘My TV column today is the last in a while – I’m taking a little sabbatical, though I HAVE recorded some TV shows for people to shout at in my absence. For my last pre-break column I’ve written about Blankety Blank and my new friend Lozza.’
The pair looked worn out by the new arrival as they ran some errands with Victoria grabbing a bag of crisps for a snack

In the episode, which was released on October 6, Victoria looked stylish in a pink floral print zip-up ensemble as she kept quiet about her pregnancy.
The show regular sat in the hosting seat for the 18th time as she returned to lead the show alongside joined guest panelists Carol Vorderman and Ignacio Lopez, and team captains Paul Merton and Ian Hislop.
Ahead of the pre-recorded show airing, Victoria also took to Instagram to share a smiling snap with Carol, but it was carefully cropped to just their faces.
She captioned the post: ‘Look, here I am with curvy brainbox CAROL VORDERMAN at last night’s recording of Have I Got News For You.
‘Also featuring Ignacio Lopez (a brilliant Spanish comedian I didn’t know), and of course iconic Paul Merton and Ian Hislop. It’s on BBC One tonight at 9.’
Just weeks later, Victoria confirmed that she had welcomed her second child and took to Instagram to announce her and David’s news.
After sharing a snap of herself in a red cloak on October 31 she followed up by writing: ‘Many people are assuming my tweet yesterday was a Halloween costume’.
‘Not at all; last week I had a baby and nothing currently fits me except cloaks. Luckily, Only Connect is a pre-record. Happy All Saints Day!’.
Racing to the comments fans and famous friends were quick to send their best wishes, with Countdown’s Rachel Riley writing: ‘Mozel tov, hope you are both doing well’.
With someone else saying: ‘Congratulations, I’m sure everyone is happy to hear some lovely news right now and another Coren Mitchell in the world is certainly that!’.
