Dad Redefined the Term “Fatherhood” By Breastfeeding His Newborn Daughter.
After his wife April had a sᴇɪᴢᴜʀᴇ ᴅᴜᴇ ᴛᴏ ᴄᴏᴍᴘʟɪᴄᴀᴛɪᴏɴs ғʀᴏᴍ ᴘʀᴇᴇᴄʟᴀᴍᴘsɪᴀ ᴀғᴛᴇʀ ᴀ ᴄ-sᴇᴄᴛɪᴏɴ, Maxamillian Neubauer knew he needed to step up to the plate and care for his baby while his wife was ᴜɴᴄᴏɴsᴄɪᴏᴜs. And while most fathers settle for a little skin-to-skin action, Max took it one step further — by “breastfeeding” his newborn daughter using a fake nipple.
Rather than going the bottle route, Max did his best to ensure Rosalía had the most authentic ʙʀᴇᴀsᴛғᴇᴇᴅɪɴɢ experience possible by sticking a ɴɪᴘᴘʟᴇ shield to his ᴄʜᴇsᴛ and attaching a syringe filled with baby formula to it to mimic a ʙʀᴇᴀsᴛ.
Interestingly enough, Max is considered to be a pioneer of the whole process, according to Door County Medical. He was the first man to ever give this new form of bonding a try at the hospital: “I guess they have asked a few fathers but nobody said yes until me.”
While Max was eager to help in any way possible, he admits he definitely needed a little help getting situated from the nursing staff.
At the end of the day, Max admits that he was just trying to do what’s best for his family. “I was really just doing what my dad would have done for me. I was doing what my wife would have wanted.”
Thankfully, April is finally home and recovering.
