Back before Al Roker had his gastric bypass surgery, he apparently had a feature many of us refer to as "man boobs." According to Al, one early morning at 3AM when he woke up to feed his daughter, she mistook his man boob for a mom boob and went to town. Oops.
"It was before I had lost weight, and uh, I would get up with her for about a 3AM feeding, and I didn't have time to put on a shirt. And, I was getting the bottle, and I was holding Leila. And, all the sudden I kind of felt, whoa! No sweetie, you're not going to get anything out of that [laughs]. But she latched right away."
The embarrassing mishap occurred a few years ago, but the incident came up again as the cast of the Today Show was discussing a new book of parental advice that they compiled recently. It's not immediately obvious what the point of Al Roker's story was -- except to make coffee shoot out of peoples' noses as the laugh at that grizzly mental picture.
Maybe the advice is this: if you've got nipples that are temporarily or permanently out of service, cover them up for the first year or so when your feed the baby. That way, you can avoid those awkward, yet precious, little moments like Al had.
