This 39-year-old grandma shocks China social media in viral video feeding infant grandson

OMG! When is my turn to be grandmother? 

Internet users in awe over 'slim, young' grandma with 20,000 online fans who feeds grandson as daughter-in-law rests nearby

A woman in eastern China has attracted online attention after she became a grandmother at the age of 39 while retaining her slim, young looks.

The unidentified woman who lives in Suzhou in Anhui province was filmed in a viral video feeding an infant milk with a nursing bottle while the baby's mother was lying on the bed for a rest, news portal Baidu reported.

The baby, who is about one month old, is the woman's first grandson.

"Look, how young this grandmother is! She was just born in 1985," said another woman, understood to be a relative, who took the video.

"For anyone who does not know your family, he will think you are the baby's mother, instead of his grandmother," the relative is heard to say in the clip released on social media on March 8.

The young grandmother, who has a long ponytail and is wearing light make-up, responds by smiling shyly and turning her back to the camera.

The woman's account on a major social media platform, on which she uses the alias Grandmother Born in 1985, has attracted 19,000 followers.

The account charts her daily life, such as feeding milk, changing nappies for her grandson and cooking for the family.

One clip shows the woman and her daughter-in-law.

Many in her audience said they could not distinguish the duo because they looked almost the same age.

Another video shows the woman talking gently to her grandson while carrying him in her arms: "While taking care of my grandson, I feel my legs and waist are not sore any more. I have more strength when climbing the stairs."

Mainland social media has been abuzz over the woman's story, with many people leaving hilarious remarks.

"I am at the same age as her, but I am not married yet. What can I say?" said one online observer.

While another person said: "I was born in the 1970s and my kid is still in kindergarten. Why are you in such a hurry to become a grandmother?"

"This grandmother can give birth to an uncle or aunt for this little baby," said a third.

Becoming a mother-in-law or grandmother at a relatively young age is not uncommon in China and Asia.

Earlier this year, Shirli Ling, an online influencer from Singapore, became a grandmother at the age of 34. She has promised her 17-year-old son who is the father to "give him more support".

A woman in eastern Shandong province, who was born in 1988, became a mother-in-law last year, admitting that her son was born when she was only 16.

Also this year, a 38-year-old woman, also from Anhui, was dubbed "the most beautiful mother-in-law" after the video clips of her son's wedding were widely circulated online.
