Mummy vlogger Tasha Maile has once again tried defend her declaration that it’s OK to breastfeed while having sex, and once again she’s struggled to convince.
The US-based YouTube star was labelled “creepy” and “incestuous” by viewers of the 2015 video in which she said she’d slept with her ex-husband while nursing her eldest son.
But in an uncomfortable interview on British daytime show, This Morning, Maile this week said she still upholds there’s “nothing bad” about doing both at once.
“Being an adult about the conversation: the baby was sleeping while breastfeeding and – again being an adult – I think we all like sex,” she said. “It’s totally fine.”
When pressed by host Holly Willoughby about whether she would feel the same way if the child was awake, the mother of three said, “If the baby is OK, they’re not judging you and thinking ‘My mum and dad are having sex.’ It’s a two or three-month-old baby. They’re so innocent.”
Maile conceded she doesn't have sex in front of her five-year-old, whom she still breastfeeds, but said it isn't simply a matter of "right or wrong".
“If you’re having sex in front of your children and it feels good to be having sex in front of your children..." she said, before trailing off.
