Why Do We Breastfeed on Youtube?

People speculate a lot about our reasons for posting nursing videos on Youtube, so I made this vlog to answer your questions.

the crap you said in this video started to make me dizzy half way thru.

i think you are watching way too much TV and getting your information from the wrong sources. try NEJM or JAMA. you will actually learn something.

[sonia989]

I don't watch TV and I do read medical journals. What does that have to do with anything? This video has to do with culture, nothing to do with JAMA.

i think you need some haldol... let me know if you cant get a prescription from your doctor.

Shock and rejection are normal reactions to anything unfamiliar that challenges a person's world view.

This is what we call the "That's CRAZY!" reaction.

Could a breastfed baby / any children whom were breastfed become immune to the H1N1 virus (Swine Flu) any benefits from that, or could they still get it, either way? Just wondering b/c i heard that the H1N1 virus targets specifically young people, and by young people i mean (anywhere from toddlers - to -teenagers - to - young adults) Just wondering

[sonia989]

I don't know if they could become immune, but usually babies can catch the same colds/flus as their moms, but they get a weaker version of it because they receive antibodies through the milk.

When they said it targets 'young people' they were refering to the <65 group and especially the 5-45 group. At this time H1N1 still causes mainly mild illness and half the people who get hospitalized have pre-existing conditions, according to the WHO.

My sister breastfed her kids until 4 yrs old, my daughter still breast feeds my grandson at 2 yrs old. Here is my problem with it. If they can chew food, have a full set of teeth, and can ask for a happy meal... They are too old to breast feed. You (and many others) state how other countries do it, how Vikings, etc., did it, but they did not have the available food that we have. That's why it was necessary. Like I told my sister, when right after breast feeding her 4 yr old, she asked for a Hap

No, I must have seen you around before.. I just didn't realize it was Sonia, or something? I've been in a timewarp bubble raising my 5 kids. I was waiting for this particular winter to roll around to actually give more time to online activism. (I think we skipped fall and went straight for winter!) So here I am again, and what I've learned is that the most powerful tool I have yet found to preserve breastfeeding is peer to peer support, actually leading by example, as you are doing.

[4breastfeeding]

Seriously, I've been begging women for the past several years through my video Breastfeeding: Mother to Mother to do exactly EXACTLY what you have done! I can't believe it took me this long to notice what you are doing here, though. Totally, my hat is off to you!

[4breastfeeding]

Wow, this is one awesome mission you are on! It's almost like you watched one of my rants about breastfeeding moms and babies getting the second class citizen treatment. Mom's need the attitude of Rosa Parks and actually make the effort to breastfeed normally in public, just being who they are.

Why allow it in public? Because babies can't wait for shopping trips. It's cruel and unhealthy to impose hunger on a baby and wrong to shut women away from society. We are humans, too.

cool lisp

[deandrelgoodman]

wtf does death and starvation have to do with a kid sucking on your tit

[TheCyShow]

the real reason she breastfeeds on youtube is up for debate but fact is the majority of the views she gets is from young horny boys who are masterbating to her bare titties. and i bet shes just keeps breastfeeding cause she enjoys it and gives a bunch of bs reasons to justify her using her baby fir her pleasure

[jojoneli76]

That's all fine and dandy but take a look at the statistics on who is watching these breastfeeding videos....men. Men who are obviously getting some sexual pleasure from it...definitely not what you intended right.
