Magical photographs depict the moment a little boy assisting his mother during childbirth holds the newborn and cuts the umbilical cord.
We are not accustomed to seeing such scenes in the United States, but elsewhere it is common for older children to assist their mother during childbirth, thereby witnessing the birth of their youngest sibling.
The photographs posted to her personal Instagram account by mom thelavenderdoula, as she is known on the popular network, are truly enchanted. There is no other term to adequately depict the magnificence of the moment when the elder brother assists his mother in delivering his younger sister.
@milkandhannah took the photographs with her camera, as Hollie Lau notes beneath her post.
“Introducing baby Robin Indigo, born to her brother Charlie on May 16th at 4:13am.”
In the photographs seen below, Charlie dons gloves and, alongside the midwife, assists in the birth of Robin. Despite the presence of his father and younger brother, he has taken on this responsibility with tremendous zeal.
In addition to assisting in the birth of his sister, 9-year-old Charlie got the distinction of cutting the umbilical cord.
Since it's not every day that you witness a young boy assisting his mother during childbirth, the photographs are magical and exceptional, and we should all applaud them
