Briefly News gathered that she was not expecting to deliver until late February, but the flight was halfway across the Atlantic when she went into labour.

Dr Ansah-Addo jumped into action with assistance from a nurse from Dayton, Ohio, and a United flight attendant who doubles as a nurse.

The team got creative and turned the area behind business class into a labour ward to deliver a healthy baby boy, who showed up crying onboard.

The mother and baby ''are in good health,'' the airline said.

Ghanaian media personality, Nancy Adobea Anane, who was on board the flight shared visuals on social media.

Briefly News reported that a baby sitting in a bouncer as he fed amazed many people online in a viral video. He 'descended' on a big chicken wing and finished it.

In the short clip, the kid took his time to eat through the chicken wings as he took the flesh perfectly off the bone despite having a few teeth.

Many people who reacted to the baby's video jokingly said that kids born nowadays do the most as if they came to the world as adults.
