A birth photographer has shared the emotional moment a mum breastfeeds her toddler while she is in labour.

Birth photographer, Maegen Dougherty has caught on camera the heartwarming moment a labouring mother breastfeeds her toddler-aged daughter.

Maegen, who works around the New York City and New Jersey area in the United States, has shown the world a series of photos of a couple through their birth and delivery journey over the weekend.

“I spent last Sunday with this really cool couple. I enjoyed getting to know them before labor got intense, and I loved documenting their beautiful experience for them as they welcomed their second baby girl into the world. Such a special day!.

“Big sister came to visit at the hospital while mama was laboring.”

“I love this moment. Big sister was so happy to see her mom and to nurse. And then contractions got longer and more intense,” she writes.

Soon after, their second daughter was born.

Nipple stimulation which mimics a suckling baby is a useful natural induction technique for women in labour, and true enough, the mum’s contractions got more intense after breastfeeding her daughter.

Maegen also posted some of the photos on her Instagram.
