The first time a woman gets to hold her baby in her arms is one of lifeโs most precious moments.
Thanks to a touching video that was uploaded to the Maternidade Cor de Rosa Facebook page, we are lucky enough to get a bedside view of a woman named Brenda Coรชlho experiencing this heartwarming moment for herself.
According to RachFeed, Brenda had just given birth to her baby daughter via C-section.
As the baby was given to mom for some precious skin-on-skin time (which, according to Todayโs Parent, stabilizes heart rate and breathing, amongst other benefits), the newborn surprised everyone.
It seems like the newborn was quite aware of who her mother was, cradling Brendaโs face and softly nuzzling her cheek.
According to Our Everyday Life, babies are born instinctively knowing their motherโs voice. They describe a study where babies were played a recording of their mother reciting poetry versus a recording of another womanโs voice reciting the same poem. When the babies heard their own mother reciting the poetry, their heart rate increasedโ a phenomenon which was explained as an in-utero familiarity to mumโs voice.
Still, however, itโs not often we see a brand-new baby displaying his or her love in such an unmistakable manner!
At about the 25-second mark, you can even hear the baby start to cry and whine a bit when the nurse attempts to pull her away.
Since being posted on May 7th, 2017, this heartwarming video has been viewed over 9.3 million timesโ and itโs really no surprise.
Being able to witness the immediate bond of a mother and her child firsthand provides for an extremely powerful viewing experience.
Translation: โMost beautiful thing.โ
Translation: โWhat a blessing.โ
On behalf of the staff at Shareably, I would just like to congratulate Brenda on the birth of her new daughter.
Hereโs to a lifetime of happiness and snuggles like this one!
