Not quite like wireless though, there has to be a latch on and suction, can't just faceplant a baby on a boob.
But if you place a baby in the rough area (the boobs) they can manoeuvre themselves to the correct area.
This is long before any motor skills. It's a primal instinct. Like holding their breath when submerged or grasping things placed in their hands.
So babies are more like the magsafe charger then.
Exactly.
Not even that, a newborn is able to crawl to the breast and start latching immediately after birth.
Yeah except they generally don't. There's a reason classes to learn how to breastfeed and lactation consultants exist.
Apple and Samsung want to have a word with you.
Yes, there are plenty of boobs that use their devices.
And now I’m mentally comparing nipples to induction chargers. Thanks for the image, op!
Someone has to make a wireless charger with a nipple on it.
do you mean a regular usb cable with a tit shaped connector?
My electric toothbrush kinda has a nipple shaped wireless charger.
Well if you do that thing it does get your partner awfully hot
its not wireless the tit is the wire. Wireless would be touching the mothers skin and the milk is just transfered to the baby.
transfered is also not a good way to say it, it would be like the baby has the ability to produce milk inside its body with the energy that is coming off the mothers skin. Something like that
Honestly it's just a dumb analogy all the way down.
The way an infant acquires nutrition before birth, is entirely different to the way it does so after birth, and neither is remotely similar to "charging".
Babies are fueled up like an internal combustion engine and produce lots of hazardous waste.
It's less wireless charging and more switching to the internal gasoline powered APU that you have to refill the gas tank on regularly
My wife would absolutely disagree with this. She could "feed" the baby anywhere before, but now she has to sit every 2 hours every day. And that's 2 hours from the start of the last feed; more like an hour break in between.
Ok your wife is the docking station then.
Not really wireless, more like charging a handset on its dock.
It's all solar energy too. Just a matter of how many degrees of separation really.
I find it even better when you think about the oxygen instead of the food, since babies become able to breathe on their own entirely without parental intervention.
