Emotional footage taken with a thermal-imaging captures the 'heart-shaped' heat that is created when a baby breastfeeds.
Patrick Tibbits, of Wisconsin, pointed the camera towards his wife Stephanie while she nursed their daughter Elliana on March 29.
The clip shows thermal energy being emitted as milk is released from the mother's breast to her baby, which appears as a love heart.
Mr Tibbits, whose age is unknown, uses the camera for work and received a new one in the post that day as a birthday present.

'He pointed it toward Elliana and me while nursing and captured a fairly amazing moment showing white hot where the milk is coming out,' Mrs Tibbits said.
The video was then uploaded onto Facebook in a post that has been liked 1,200 times and had 892 shares.
