A doting father offered to ‘breastfeed’ his newborn baby daughter using a fake nipple while her mother recovered from a gruelling Caeserian section.

Maxamillian Kendall Neubauer shared photos of himself with the formula filled syringe taped to his chest as baby Rosalia happily has her feed.

Neubauer offered to clamp on the device, which he nicknamed the moob (man boob) after being told that it is vital to get C-Section babies feeding as quickly as possible, and was backed by supportive nursing staff.

Neubauer’s gesture was met with praise online, with female commenters hailing him for helping out with his wife.

Nurse Cybil Martin-Dennehy, who works at the hospital where Rosalia was born, said most dads are much more reluctant when asked to simulate breastfeeding.

She hopes Neubauer’s caring gesture will set an example to other fathers, and demystify the feeding process.
