'Baby Whisperer' N.Y. Police Officer Delivers 5 Babies in 5 Years

A New York police officer is being praised as a "baby whisperer" for delivering five babies in five years following a birth he helped with over the weekend.

Suffolk County Police Sgt. Jon-Erik Negron, along with three other officers, responded to a call of a woman going into labor at her Long Island home Saturday, WABC-TV reports. The baby was nearly three weeks early, and the officers helped deliver a healthy boy in the woman's living room.

This was the fifth delivery Negron has been a part of in as many years. He's been with the department since 2013. 

"I thought that my childbirth days were over when I became a sergeant this year, and I guess the record lives on so we'll see how many we can take it to," Negron said during a press conference.

Although he has no children of his own, Negron has made lasting connections with the families he's helped with deliveries. He's the godfather of a baby he delivered in 2017—his third birth—after he helped unwrap the umbilical cord around the child's neck.
