Salina baby brings new life as mother gives birth at home
In Salina, Linda Mansfield delivered her daughter Jennifer on the kitchen floor with three-year-old Eric assisting. The 8 pound 8 ounce infant arrived around 11:30 a.m. after Linda’s water broke during chores. Eric fetched a blanket and sterile items while Linda guided him through the birth. Father Jack Mansfield arrived soon after, noting the child’s cord was cut safely with improvised tools. The family reported both mother and baby doing well after the home birth.
