Breastfeeding. . . .The most Beautifullest, Naturallest and Heallthiest Thing! (Video)



There's another hip hop breastfeeding song out there -- and it's a parody of Keith Murray's The Most Beautifullest Thing In This World. This new one was just released the other day, and is by Kuroji, and he rhymes about his appreciation for breastfeeding, calling it the most 'Beautifullest,' 'Naturallest,' and 'Heallthiest' thing. I'm really excited about this song. Not only because of it's ability to draw in more diverse audiences since it comes from a Black male perspective, but I really appreciate the line: "10 fingers and toes ain't nearly enough. You want a healthy child? Breastfeeding builds them up!," since it underscores there is a difference between being alive and thriving.

Kuroji's wife, Chenniah Patrick, is author of This Milk Tastes Good! A Breastfeeding Nursery Rhyme, a children's book about breastfeeding that he also illustrated. This family seems to make a great team in breastfeeding promotion, and I can't think of many things cooler than a hip hop song about mother's milk. I've been walking around singing this one, too, and I also really enjoyed the rhyme from This Milk Tastes Good! Now, if we can just get a tune to that one. 


Lyrics:

When she's nursing our child, she's feeding the future
Giving him or her all that they need to produce the 
Right things within to defend against sickness
All the mom would breastfed, so I can bear witness

Listen! I wouldn't have it any other way
And if you cannot say when I start the day
Give your child your breast after they first breath
It relieves the stress plus eliminates death

10 fingers and toes ain't nearly enough
You want a healthy child? Breastfeeding builds them up!
You want a healthy child? Breastfeeding builds them up!
You want a healthy child? Breastfeeding builds them up!

I'm a breastfed, breasfeeding full-time father
That's my reply when I'm asked why do I bother
We got one in college and three to follow
And I ain't gonna front like they ain't seen a bottle
But 'Breast is Best' was definitely our module
Do what's natural if your body allows you
And when number five arrives I'll do the same 
We stand behind all the benefits for the brain
We stand behind all the benefits for the brain
We stand behind all the benefits for the brain

Yo, 

The most beautifullest thing in this world is breatfeeding your child. Please remember
The most heallthiest thing in this world is breastfeeding your child. Please remember
The most naturallest thing in this world is breastfeeding your child. Please remember

Having trouble latching? The result is attaching a pump to your breast so that you can express
Direct into the bottle to see the full value of all that nutrition that your little one's gettin'
Whether private or public Your child's gonna love it
You gave him a great start and it came from your heart
You gave him a great start and it came from your heart

Yo,

The most beautifullest thing in this world is breatfeeding your child. Please remember
The most heallthiest thing in this world is breastfeeding your child. Please remember
The most naturallest thing in the world is breastfeeding your child. Please remember
The most beautifullest thing in this world is breastfeeding your child
