The presence of a husband during childbirth has long been a normal practice. However, some parents went further. Some mothers allow older children to be present when brothers or sisters are born.

This story in his Instagram shared photographer Paulina Splechta, who specializes in shooting the birth process. The photographer herself admitted that she had previously thought about allowing the eldest daughter to attend the birth of the youngest. Then the plan was not realized, but thanks to the Cook family, she was able to watch such an event.
