“I was just minutes away from having my next weather broadcast, and my baby had just woken up,” Schuld told Yahoo News. The young mother said she was preparing for the broadcast, when her producers – seeing the baby in her arms – asked if the little one was going to make an appearance.

Though the moment wasn’t exactly planned, the new mother felt baby Fiona wouldn’t be fussy on live television as she had just taken a long undisturbed nap.

While the whole thing was spontaneous and her viewers couldn’t be more in love with it, the meteorologist admitted that she felt slightly guilty later as there is a certain decorum that they are expected to maintain.

That feeling, though, went away soon after she realised that this was “real life”. “This is what everyone else is also doing. They work, their kids are sick, or their kids are crying in the background. It’s always a challenge when you have kids in the mix, but that’s what so many of us are doing every day. So why are we hiding them?” she added.

As she has been getting a lot of positive feedback, Schuld now hopes that other mothers, who are juggling work with parental responsibilities, feel less lonely.
