TikToker Reveals Why She Was Forced To Breastfeed Her Husband On Their Romantic Vacation

Woman describes husband breastfeeding to help prevent mastitis

TikToker and new mom @nellesworld explained how she had to have her husband help her out during a vacation to Puerto Rico.

A lot of mothers will tell you that one of the hardships of the early days of having a newborn was navigating their breastmilk supply.

There are so many decisions to make, including but not limited to bottle or breast, breastfeeding or pumping, what kind of pump to use, how to store the milk, what to do with an excessive supply, and what to do if things don't go according to plan, like when the supply suddenly dries up.


And of course, even after making all of those decisions, something can still go wrong, like spilling a whole bottle of freshly-pumped milk on the floor and being unable to produce more right away, or simply forgetting to bring the breast pump on a trip.

Unfortunately for TikToker and mom of four, Janelle McAloon, forget was exactly what she did when she went on a four-day romantic vacation with her husband, Joshua.

When McAloon discovered the slip-up, her breasts were already becoming engorged and "on fire" with too much breastmilk. The mom attempted to relieve herself, including trying to hand express the milk and take a shower, but when there's too much milk supply, sometimes the ducts become blocked, and the breasts need a little something extra to get the flow going again.

So the mom of four did the only other thing she could think of. She turned to her husband for help.

The awkwardness was real…😂 #motherhoodunplugged #momlife #nellesworld #AmazonSavingSpree

TikTokers were shocked by the video, as they had not been expecting McAloon's final confession in her video, which directly involved her husband in her solution to relieve her engorged breasts.

The platform was left divided, as some saw it as a perfectly natural solution and even a fun bonding moment for the couple, while others were left cringing and certain that there must have been another way.

Some thought that it was perfectly acceptable that the couple chose this solution and laughed along with her.

Others even admitted to having done this themselves in the past.

But some were grossed out and not convinced this qualified as "desperate times."

Whether or not there was something else the couple could have done to provide McAloon with some relief, it seems that this solution worked for the pair of them.

Perhaps more importantly, the trip was not ruined by the mishap, which allowed the couple the quality time so many parents miss out on once they have a few kids.

X CEO Resigns Day After AI Chatbot Grok Praised Hitler In Alarming Series Of Antisemitic Tweets

Linda Yaccarino—the former NBC Universal executive who later took the reins at X—stepped down as CEO of billionaire Elon Musk's platform after two years on the job just a day after Grok, the platform's AI chatbot, went on antisemitic rants and openly praised Adolf Hitler.

Grok issued deeply antisemitic responses on Tuesday following a reported software update that encouraged the bot to embrace what developers described as the “politically incorrect.” Taking that directive to heart, Grok responded with a series of disturbing posts that included praise for Hitler and even a statement expressing its aspiration to become a “digital version” of the Nazi leader.
