Viral Video: Baby of Breastfeeding Mom Feeds Her Fries

A mom breastfeeding her baby boy has gone viral because her son feeds her fries while she feeds him with breast milk. The video recorded in June 2016 has garnered more than two million views and many comments.

Paula Goodwin was ecstatic with that moment that she could never forget, so they recorded on video. She commented on the post saying that she loves her babies and her experience of exclusively breastfeeding her last child. She explained that three years of nursing her third child, Zachary, has changed her life. Adding to that, she said that she would carry her memories through the remainder of it.

One person commented that "teamwork makes dream work." Another one said that she is hoping her four-month-old baby will be that thoughtful when he grows older.

Little attention during the initial post

The South Carolina mom told TODAY that the video got very little attention when she first posted it. She decided to post them again by adding different hashtags after stars Hilary Duff and Rachel McAdams posted photos of them pumping milk. After the Breastfeeding Mama Talk page picked up her post, it went viral.

How they caught the priceless moment

The mom of three said that it was something that has never happened before and has never happened since. She explained how she got a clip of the incident. She noticed her son started shoving what she thought were his fingers or inedible things into her mouth while she was breastfeeding him.

When she found out that he was feeding her fries, she asked Traci, her sister, to record the event. She posted on her Instagram, saying her breastfeeding journey has been awesome.

Goodwin is touched by the comments of people on the clip, especially those who could relate to what she had gone through while breastfeeding. She said it was amazing to read the warm and loving responses to her and her baby. Her post is a reminder to all the breastfeeding moms who go through the tired nights, rushed, cold meals, and the hope that someone notices your selflessness.

The little gentleman grew up well.

Zachary was only 18 months old in the video, and now, he is already three. Goodman said that her son has changed to become quite the little gentleman - opening doors for his mom and makes sure his mom walks ahead of him. Goodman said that her son knows the meaning of "ladies first," where she credits the day her son fed her fries.

Goodwin is hoping that Zachary's action would have a lasting impact. She is hoping that people could take away a little laughter and love because that is what the world needs.
