Tyra Learns to Breast Feed

In honor of Independence Day, I thought I'd share this gem of a YouTube with you all, because what could be more American than supermodels learning to breastfeed on national TV? And only Tyra could make fake feeding a fake baby look both terrifying and erotic.

Enjoy!

I don't think it was terrifying or erotic, I think Tyra was providing a Lactation Consultant visit for as many women as watch her show (thousands? millions?).  She asked good questions, she got good information.  It was a talk show effort at public education, and it was more than moderately successful, IMHO.  Go Tyra!

I'm not a fan of Tyra and I find her kind of insane but there really was nothing erotic or terrifying about this....if anything her show, however cheesy, hopefully helped some BF mothers out.

Umm, she was not promoting breastfeeding or helping women in any way.  Her "motherhood" show was awful!  She acted like a teenager, rolling her eyes and perpetuating myths about breastfeeding.  She was rude and condescending to her guests, and made it seem like anyone who breastfeeds past 6 months is a freak.  Then she went on to insult stay-at-home moms.  Work, stay at home, whatever - it's your choice, no need to bash the ones who don't do the same.  

Talk about biting the hand that feeds you, though - who does she think watches (watched) her show?
