“The incredible tale of a mother’s enduring love, raising children with her feet, captures the admiration of millions.”

“Discovering her pregnancy through a test taken with her daughter, Dejana Backo, born without limbs, has never allowed her challenges to hinder her life. The 28-year-old, along with her partner Marko Nezic, joyfully welcomed their baby daughter, Lara, into the world four months ago. Despite the initial difficulties, Dejana has been sharing candid glimpses of her life as a mom on TikTok (@marko_dejana), showcasing both struggles and highlights, amassing millions of views. According to the artist, while picking up their baby was initially challenging, it has become easier with Lara now four months old, as her neck has strengthened, and she is growing rapidly.”

Having no arms, Dejana, has to find alternative ways to do what other parents might take for granted – like feed or dress their child.

She uses her feet for a lot of the tasks, including making a bottle, and even taking Lara out of her crib – which she describes as her “biggest fear”, but urges others to “not limit yourself”.

In one video, the mom demonstrates how she puts Lara into a baby carrier using just her feet, stating that she is learning “everything she needs to learn” for her daughter.

Dejana can also use her chin and shoulder to open items, as well as her fingers and hands.

In another video, she is seen carrying her daughter’s stroller up the stairs with Marko.

The “superhero” mom can also change her daughter using just her feet and toes which can be seen in another clip on her TikTok.

The mom said: “When I feed her now, I just need help from my husband to put her on a pillow and into my legs. I can do a lot of things by myself, but still, they take more time.”

There are some things that the family avoids to make life a bit easier, such as cooking. They also have assistance with cleaning the house.

Dejana said: “We do not cook, we always eat somewhere outside like in a restaurant or someone else’s kitchen. We also have a lady that we pay to clean and also helps us two hours a day with Lara, especially in the evening.”

Before becoming a mother, Dejana from Serbia, was well-known on TikTok for her paintings, which she creates using her feet. But she’s been left blown away by the kind messages about her parenting skills, with people calling her “superwoman”.

The mom insists this is just their “normal” life and they are not “doing anything special”.

She said: “Yes, we were surprised by the amount of followers we got. That was never our goal but with trow sport, painting and also parenting now, we gained a lot of publicity and we are so grateful.

“We are so glad to have this opportunity to inspire others by not doing anything special, just documenting our normal life and how we do things our way.”

Tammy Mae said: “What an incredible woman!”

June Samantha said: “u r superwoman honestly u r amazing.” [sic]

Zara said: “What a lucky child with such a brave mother.”

Alisha Lee said: “This is the most beautiful thing I’ve seen.”
