This picture of a dad 'breastfeeding' his newborn has gone viral
Maxamillian and April Neubauer are proud parents of newborn Rosalia. The Wisconsin couple considers their little girl a miracle, because they didn't think they could have children. "I have polycystic ovary syndrome (a hormonal disorder that causes infrequent menstrual periods), so I didn't know I was pregnant until eight weeks in," April told WBAY. April had a very specific birth plan. "Immediate skin on skin afterwards. Breastfeeding was part of our plan," she said. However, during Rosalia's birth, something frightening happened that made the plan impossible. "They broke my water and I was 9.5 dilated, and then I had a seizure," April recalls. Cybil Martin-Dennehy, a registered nurse, said a doctor was called and it was decided that a C-section was the best route. "No shorter had we moved her to the operating table, she had another seizure," Martin-Dennehy said. Rosalia was born, April was taken away to recover and Martin-Dennehy began thinking about a way to honor April's skin-on-skin plan. She showed Max a supplemental nursing system that she created and he was in, "100 percent." "I have tried multiple times. Usually I get a look of disbelief. Why would I ask something so crazy? But Max was 100 percent. He is like, heck yes, let's do this," Martin-Dennehy said. Using a fake nipple shield, a feeding tube, a syringe and some formula, Max got set up to feed his daughter her first meal. Max posted a picture of the sweet moment on Facebook, and the post has been shared nearly 30,000 times. Plenty of people were confused, and even Rosalia's grandmother had to do a double take. "It was a shock when I did walk into a nursery and they had her on his nipple. I didn't see a fake nipple at first, so it was shocking," Yolanda Edwards said, laughing. Max hopes other dads want to try it out. "If you are in that situation like I was, when April had no ability to do it, if you have the opportunity, go for it. It's worth it, definitely," said Max.
