There aren't many things that would warrant interrupting a newborn being breastfed - except maybe the pet goose being attacked by an eagle.

Cait Oakley, from the US, has proven she is a multi-tasking super mum after being captured on the home security camera rushing outside her home mid-breastfeed to save her pet goose Frankie from being dragged away by a wild eagle.

The vision posted to TikTok has caught the eye of 21 million people who commend the mum-of-two on her determination and 'mama bear' instinct.

In the dramatic clip, you can hear the family's beloved pet goose Frankie's distress as an eagle swoops down and grabs her neck with its claws and begins to drag her away from the house.

Without hesitation the video then shows Cait running out yelling at the eagle and chasing it down until it let's go and flies away.

Cait is holding her four-month-old newborn Willow and was only wearing a pair of boxers.

"Mama bear mid breast feeding protecting her sweet Frankie," she captioned the video which she shared to Frankie's popular TikTok page.

"It was 6.30pm and I was feeding Willow for bedtime," Cait explained saying her husband Mike didn't realise anything was wrong until he heard her screaming from outside.

Speaking to CTV News Cait said that she didn't expect the clip to go viral, "If something was to go viral I would have preferred to been clothed, but hey that's 'mumhood'!"

Millions took to the video to applaud the mum and her incredible multi-tasking skills. "Not all hero's wear capes….some where nothing at all," one person wrote.

Another commented, "That was amazing! That's what you call a Supermum."
