Shannon Bird of Alpine, Utah, was panic-stricken when her milk supply suddenly dried up while trying to breastfeed her newborn. So she dialed 911.
But it wasn't the middle of the day -- it was 2 a.m., and her daughter was screaming to be fed.
,"the mom later told KSL."I started calling neighbors and teenagers in the area and my little brother and no one was awake."On the call, she tried to convey just how desperate a situation she was in. After all, 911 operators get a wide range of"interesting" calls at all hours of the day. But this was certainly a new one.
It can happen for short spells at various times during a breastfeeding journey, and it doesn't always mean anything's wrong. In fact, many mothers experiences low milk supply in the days after a baby is born, the organization noted, when the breasts are producing colostrum and the"real" milk hasn't yet come in. It can also happen again at other points, when a baby's feeding patterns change.
Still, regardless of whether that was the case for Bird, the experience of suddenly not being able to nurse on demand left her at a loss for what to do.Luckily, two patrolling officers quickly came to her rescue.
