Adorable two-year-old Eleanor Manton, diagnosed with Down syndrome at birth, is a new model, after being spotted by children’s clothing brand JoJo Maman\u00a0B\u00e9b\u00e9’s scouts on her family’s Instagram page.<\/p>\n

“We saw Helen, Eleanor’s mum, had tagged us in some photos on her Instagram. Helen takes great pictures and Eleanor is beautiful so we got in touch to see if they would like to take part in the campaign,” JoJo Maman\u00a0B\u00e9b\u00e9 told The Sun<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Eleanor Grace Manton born 17th April 2018 weighing 6lbs 14 oz. 2 weeks ago today I went into labour and then on Tuesday 17th we welcomed our gorgeous little girl. We all finally returned home from hospital this week and since then we\u2019ve been settling in as a family. Eleanor spent her first 9 days on the Special Baby Care Unit at Warwick Hospital after being born with Down\u2019s Syndrome, which came as a shock to us to say the least. DS babies have their own very complex needs and Eleanor needed various tests and monitoring before being allowed home. The last two weeks have been tough, emotionally and physically and I can\u2019t thank the people we have around us enough. Our family and friends have been unbelievably supportive and I know they will continue to be in the future. All the staff we encountered at Warwick Hospital are incredible and this last week has been a real eye opener and this is just a tiny part as to what remarkable work the NHS do day to day. Eleanor is our very special feisty little lady and if you give her a challenge she will no doubt exceed it. Now let this incredible journey begin… #downsyndrome #teammanton #minimanton #wonderwoman #myworld #lifeisbetterwithyou #upsyndrome #babypictureoverload #babyspam #startshere #sorrynotsorry #channelmumvillage #bemoreeleanor<\/a><\/p>\n
