Good moms put their children’s needs ahead of their own every single day, but what one mom refused to do in order to take care of her baby after a car crash left nurses and doctors in total awe.
New Zealand mom Danni Bett had been driving around Christchurch with her 2-month-old newborn Indi in the backseat when she lost control of car and totaled it after crashing into a metal fence. Bett was placed in a neck brace when first responders arrived, but all she could think of was her baby.
“All I could say was, ‘Get my baby out, she’s in the car, get my baby.’ I was in so much shock,” Bett said of the traumatic experience, which her daughter managed to sleep through.
Bett and her newborn were taken straight to the hospital, and despite the intense shooting pain down her neck, back, and hips, she refused pain medication while doctors did tests to see the extent of her injuries.
Bett knew that if she had painkillers she wouldn’t be able breastfeed Indi, so she refused them for four long hours of painful testing. When she was finally taken back to her room and reunited with her daughter, she convinced nurses to let her breastfeed. “It was instant relief,” she said.
“I wanted her, I wanted to calm her. After a traumatic day as it is, to give her that (a bottle) would not be right. (Breastfeeding) is the best for her and I had that,” Bett said.
