Newborn Shocks Hospital Staff As She “Walks” Just Minutes After Birth

A newborn girl has shocked medical staff at a maternity hospital in Brazil after she appeared to be walking just minutes after she was born.

Hospital workers were trying to give the baby girl a bath�for the very first time when she decided to literally “walk” away.

In the video�uploaded by Julia Gonçalves�on YouTube, a nurse�cradles the baby across her chest with one arm when�the miracle baby appears to walk on her own.

Another person then said, “Wait let me film this,” before�shouting for another colleague called Ju to come to witness the incredible moment.

The midwife in the video explains that she has been trying to give the baby a bath but the child just wants to get up and walk. She then�points with one hand to where she first tried to lay her�down to give her her very first bath. “She has walked from here to here,” she says pointing across the distance the newborn has already covered.

Although�details on where exactly the incident took place or the baby’s identity is limited, the insignia on the midwife’s robes suggest she works at a Santa Cruz Hospital, in a city in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, south Brazil.

It generally takes up to 12 months for babies to learn to walk, and that usually comes after they have achieved and passed other major milestones in their development such as sitting up and crawling.
