New reality TV: breast-feeding
- Share via
An Australian talk show host has breast-fed her new son on live national television, angering some viewers but winning praise from the medical profession.
Kate Langbroek nursed her newborn, Lewis, on “The Panel” late-night program when she returned from maternity leave Wednesday.
Viewers were mixed about the display, the Ten Network said Thursday.
“It was definitely split,” a network spokeswoman said. “Some people were very supportive.... Others were of course having a bit of a hissy.”
An official with the Australian Medical Assn. applauded Langbroek and dismissed unease over public breast-feeding as old-fashioned.
