Madix Keegan wins Coffs Coast’s cutest baby 2023 vote

After dozens of nominations, votes and a whole lot of cuteness, the winner of Coffs Coast’s cutest bub competition 2023 has been announced. Meet little Madix.

Madix Kyda Keegan secured 13 per cent of the vote to be a clear cut winner in the Coffs Coast's cutest baby competition 2023.

Madix Keegan has been crowned the Coffs Coast’s cutest baby for 2023 – as voted by you.

More than 50 bubs aged under two years of age were nominated and a reader poll saw Madix emerge triumphant with 13 per cent of the votes.

Now aged six months, the photo used to accompany Madix’s nomination may have had plenty wondering whether he’d been playing in mud as is the want of many youngsters.

“Actually, it was just chocolate from lamingtons he had on his face,” mum Aspyn Keegan laughed.

Madix is Ms Keegan’s first child and the little bundle of joy appeared after a challenging birth.

“It went for ages,” Ms Keegan said.

She reckons Madix channels the late great king of rock and roll Elvis Presley.

Madix Kyda Keegan was born on April 4 at Coffs Harbour Hospital.

“He’s got that wild hair and he loves his music,” Ms Keegan said.

“At the moment he’s obsessed with The Lion King soundtrack.”

Another thing he has in common with The King is a fondness for his food.

“He will eat anything. He’s always eating – he’s such a chunk,” Ms Keegan said.

And as for the unusual name of Madix?

“I’ve just always loved it – and my mum was going to call me Madix,” Ms Keegan said.

Congratulations to the loved ones and all the adorable entrants in the 2023 competition.

The event and the stories shared by parents brought a sunbeam of light into an at times challenged world.
