Baby Ágata Ribeiro Coêlho was taken to meet her mother for the first time following a safe delivery.

In the video, the medical personnel was holding the infant as Brenda laid down on the bed inside the operating room. It had only been seconds after Ágata was born, but she proved just how strong her connection is with her mother when she touched her face and held Brenda close to her.

Although Brenda looked tired and out of it because of the pain medication, her eyes still spoke and expressed how she loved her new baby.

She couldn’t hold her baby yet, but she was happy to have Ágata so close to her.

Ágata soon cried in the video but was soothed shortly after. Perhaps it was the feeling of being close to her mother.

Members of the medical staff were stunned that baby Ágata wouldn’t let go of her mother’s face. It was the perfect display of a mother and daughter’s deep connection.

Brenda, a 24-year-old administrative assistant, shared her sentiments about the first time she met her baby.

She said, “It was an incredible moment when my daughter hugged me for the first time. Ágata is now three months old and is doing great, every day is a surprise, and I love being a mother.”
