The reaction to meeting your new little baby in those early moments after giving birth are just as individual as birth itself. For some of us, those first minutes are almost too overwhelming to compute and that ‘connection’ doesn’t come immediately and for others, it’s a full-on tidal wave of love at first sight. Just like in life, there’s no right way to do it.
Actress Hilary Duff recently shared the moment she met her five-month-old daughter, Banks, for the first time after a water delivery at home and it’s almost too cute to take. As she cradled her, it appears that little Banks wanted to get as close as possible to her mama and stretched her arms out to pull her close in a hug. It’s a pretty spesh moment you can check out in Hilary’s post below…
Banks is Hilary’s second baby and the first with her musician partner, Matthew Koma. She also has a six-year-old son, Luca, who she shares with her ex-husband, Mike Comrie.
While Hilary’s Insta account is filled with beautiful snaps of her family, she’s also known for keeping it real when it comes to her experience with motherhood. On New Year’s Day, Hilary put out a call for advice to her 11.6 million Insta followers after revealing that Banks had been diagnosed with Colic… and it definitely resonated with parents around the world if the almost 26,000 comments she received are anything to go by.
But for now, we’re just going to watch this gorgeous video on loop… ‘cos it’s too cute not to.
The lady behind Business Chicks, Emma Isaacs, shared her incredible home water birth pics and video with us and you can see that here. You can also watch Em talking about her experience with all FIVE of her home births in our On the Couch chat with her below…
