INCREDIBLE: Nigerian Baby Shocks Doctors (PHOTOS)
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.

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”.

“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”.

“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.’

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.’
