Why This Dad is Winning the Internets Heart

When his partner suffered some complications after birth this dad never hesitated to step up and play mum!

Maxamillian Kendall Neubauer shared on Facebook how his wife, April had suffered some complications duringan emergency c-section.

He shared these amazing pictures saying, “This super rad nurse made a epically killer offer, and I was fortunate enough to slap on a suction cup fake nipple. Being the first to breast feed da baby!!!! “I did it for the moms” Eat your heart out!!”

He added just yesterday, “April is doing great off IV up and moving around a little today. Basically She is getting her Latina sass back…god help us.”

His post has gone VIRAL with over 22,000 shares and 32,000 reactions.

Loads of comments including:

– “So amazing!”

– “You are FATHER OF THE YEAR!!!”

– “Great job dad, way to step up.”

– “I think this is awesome!!! Great job! Working on that latch during the first moments is sooo important !”

– “Very cool!”

– “Love it! Awesome dad!”

Of course there were a few that commented how gross it was, but lets ignore them.

You go daddy! Good on you for stepping up in time of need.

Well done!!! If the baby is progressing it proves it is successful. I hope more Dads manage to do this in a hospital situation.

Great dad and he helped not only to bond with his child but to help his wife breastfeed also if she wanted to do so once she was able. Not many dads would do it, let alone put it out there on social media.

Well done to all involved! What a beautiful moment for these two. The fake nipple hashtag kind of threw me though….????????

I’m glad everyone was safe in the end and good on him
For playing mum in the early moments not many men get that opportunity. By this i mean it’s a great bonding opportunity and one some men envy.

Pretty sure he could have achieved the same result with a bottle, just less publicity that way I guess

Beautiful thing to do for his newborn bub and for his wife. Haters will hate but all that really matters here was bub able to get breastmilk in those first hours/days.

Great job from the Dad but the nurse is equal in the task not a lot would have offered this. Amazing what they can do these days.

Mmm I’m half half here. Skin to skin is mandatory for both parents but simulating bf? Not sure how I feel. I’m not offended but I’m just not sure of the motivation.
