A Nigerian Baby Started Feeding Herself 72hrs After Her Birth! by leo1234(m): 2:17pm On Aug 22, 2014 |
A Nigerian baby, Amara Chiedozie, has surprised doctors and nurses in the UK after she started feeding herself with her bottle after 72 hours of her birth. 20-year-old single mother, Onyi Chiedozie who said she is amazed at how her daughter is capable of holding the feeding bottle on her own said she ‘grabbed’ her bottle during a feed and held it to her mouth. Amara at threee days old actually started feeding herself, now at three weeks old she regularly holds her bottle all by herself and pushes it aside when she is full up. Meanwhile the new mother, Onyi, who said she is using a combination of breast and bottle feeding, said everyone is amazed by the feat. See photos below Nigerian Baby, Amara Chiedozie, who learned to feed herself when she was only 72 hours old The 20-year-old mother said: ‘She was crying as she was hungry and when we were feeding, she started shaking, then she just grabbed the bottle and she was holding it by herself. We couldn’t believe it because babies don’t normally do it that young, I’m so shocked that I have been documenting it every day”. Nigerian Baby, Amara Chiedozie and her mom, Onyi Chiedozie “It’s unbelievable, even nurses are really surprised – when my health support nurse came she was shocked as well., she couldn’t believe that this could happen. Whenever we go to appointments, we take pictures of her doing it. The midwife and even the doctor we had an appointment with on Saturday was actually amazed – they all couldn’t believe it” . Nigerian Baby, Amara Chiedozie, who learned to feed herself when she was only 72 hours old “I just think she has a lot of strength, I’m not sure why though as she wasn’t particularly heavy when she was born. ‘When she doesn’t want it she will push it away. She isn’t strong enough to throw it away, but she does push it away, like she does with her dummy. If she is really hungry, she starts shaking, then she will just grab the bottle as you give it to her.’ Nigerian Baby, Amara Chiedozie, who learned to feed herself when she was only 72 hours old and her mom, Onyi Chiedozie Amara was born at Queen’s Hospital in Romford, Essex, on August 3 weighing 6lbs 3oz. Her mother Miss Chiedozie Onyi, a student, however, said she makes sure she is always watching her daughter when she is feeding herself. She said: ‘Sometimes I hold her or sometimes you can prop her up with a pillow and give her the bottle. I’m always watching her – I don’t let her out of my sight.’ http://www.naij.com/279798-nigerian-baby-feeds-herself.html 1 Like

I read this article earlier this morning. You guys should know this baby was STARVING! It's very possible the mother gave birth to the baby and then refused to breastfeed her, opting instead for bottle feeding The 20-year-old mother said: ‘She was cryingShaking is a sign of hypoglycemia or in layman's terms "severe hunger"! This baby must have been hypoglycemic from the mother's womb. “I just think she has a lot of strength, I’m notLow birth weight is another indication of possible poor malnutrition in the womb, maybe mommy wasnt feeding well or was sick. So this child's response to grabbing that feeding bottle when they put it to her lips was a do-or-die affair Pure survival instinct! The Pikin be like "Meeen, av come to this world two times, na naija I land, and this third time wey I come land for UK na hin una wan kill me with hunger? Na lie una talk! 4 Likes |
