Breastfeeding is an emotionally charged and challenging experience that many new moms are forced to navigate on their own. In TODAY’s new digital series “Modern Motherhood,” we follow women on their breastfeeding journeys as they share the message that there’s no ONE right way to do things.
A 911 dispatcher in Ohio alerted police officer Hunter Willoughby to an unusual situation at 2 a.m. on June 15. A new mom was on the line — and she was frantic. “She said her breast milk had dried up and she needed formula for her 1-week-old baby,” Willoughby, 32, a corporal with the Miami Township Police, tells TODAY.com, noting that the woman had been driving around for hours in search of a store that was open. Willoughby, a father of two young daughters, jumped into action.
“I just had a feeling someone would be there,” Willoughby says. His instincts were right, and after he explains the situation, an employee allows Willoughby into the store. Willoughby beelines to the formula aisle and studies the options before making a selection. Then, he grabs two infant baby bottles for good measure. 'I called the mom and told her I'd see her in a couple of minutes,' Willougby says.
