New reality TV: breast-feeding
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.â€
An official with the Australian Medical Assn. applauded Langbroek and dismissed unease over public breast-feeding as old-fashioned.
