Spanish Mattress Commerical

This is such a beautiful ad. If I were really rich I would love to do more mainstream ads like this so that American women could see how normal, peaceful and beautiful birth can be... that it isn't all fear, drama, and screaming. Also I love this ad because there is something so deeply beautiful and intimate about a baby being born in the same bed or house in which he was conceived. Too bad that I don't think this type of ad would fly in the US... maybe someday.



Thanks to Musing of a Redhead for this video

This clip also made me realize how normal breastfeeding is in other countries and that it isn't seen as offensive or inappropriate but very natural. I love it that the last clip is of her side-lying breastfeeding her baby. In the US that would probably be considered too inappropriate, and instead there would be a shot of a half naked couple snuggling together in the bed... which somehow would be MORE appropriate than a mom breastfeeding her baby. Hmm... sometimes I can't help but feel we are just a little bit backwards here in the US.

That was very sweet to watch! It's crazy because after I had my first daughter, I remember thinking that was nothing like I had seen on TV or in the movies.
