A mum has come under fire after defending her belief that it’s fine to breastfeed and have s£x at the same time.
Mum-of-three Tasha Maile believes “there is nothing bad about making love at all” – even if your child is there while you’re doing it.
The controversial US vlogger, who describes herself as a life, relationship and health coach, has built up a following on YouTube thanks to her New Age beliefs.
But recent viewers on her YouTube channel, Spiritual Tasha Mama, don’t know what to make of her latest parenting advice.
Tasha, from San Diego, sparked caused a fuss two years ago when she uploaded a clip called “Do I have s£x while breastfeeding?”
The mum of three young sons, Josiah, Soul and Love, revealed she had previously had s£x with her then-husband while feeding her newborn.
She said:
“From what I remember, I remember sleeping with my ex-husband and my son was on me breastfeeding and we would have s£x from behind or something.
“There’s nothing bad about making love at all, ever.”
Even though she made the original comments years ago, she has continued to face a barrage of criticism for her “wrong” and “incestuous” beliefs ever since.
So the vegan YouTuber recently revisited the topic to slam critics who weren’t having any of it.
In a recent follow-up video, she attempted to clarify what she meant.
She said:
“My three-month-old would not allow me to put him down at all. So he was attached to me 24/7.
“So we did it whilst he was sleeping next to me or on me.”
Tasha’s original clip racked up over 3 million views, with commenters quick to criticise the hippy mum’s parenting style.
One said:
“I agree with her that s£x is important and natural but come on not while you are feeding your baby! Wait a few minutes!”
And another chipped in to add:
“I wouldn’t want my children to be watching me and my husband make love. That is extremely personal”.
But not everyone is so critical.
One fan said:
“She’s so open and in touch with herself. It’s beautiful to see somebody like that. I’ve always been much too worried what other people think and repressed.”
This isn’t the only time Tasha has found herself at the centre of online controversy.
Viewers were also divided after she revealed she was still breastfeeding eldest son Josiah when he was three.
And last year, she was slammed for uploading a series of clips which show her sons breastfeeding at the same time.
