Aussie Mia Freedman Welcomes Third Child, Son Remy

Australian journalist, author, and media personality Mia Freedman and husband Jason Lavigne welcomed their third child together last week. The former editor-in-chief of Cosmo, Cleo and Dolly, 34, posted on her blog that it was a “great birth” and that they are “over the moon.”

The baby boy has been named Remy, a name which older brother Luca, 10, came up with. However, older sister Coco, 3, wasn’t too happy — she wanted to name the baby Nutella! Mia, a frequent blogger, says that she has pre-written a number of posts to go live “while I remember how to get by on very little sleep and make milk.”

The pregnancy was announced in April and Mia answered CBB reader questions in an exclusive interview.

I like the name and bet he came up with the name from Ratatouille, the Pixar movie. I also really like Luca…it was on the short list for our baby, but we’ve discovered she’s a girl. I’m also planning on writing posts ahead for the Ugga Mugga parenting blog for when she arrives in November. Love the way she worded her reasoning! So true!

Luca is my very favourite boy’s name, followed by Remy! I like Mia Freedman a lot – I read her column in the Australian Sunday papers every week, and her blog on Essential Baby, and her writing always make me laugh. And I know she reads CBB, so if you’re reading this – congratulations Mia!!!

Love the name Remy for boy or girl. So funny that her daughter wanted to name the baby nutella!

Well if they had chosen Nutella he or she could have been best buds with Peanut Rademacher!
