WATCH: Mum breastfeeds daughter during yoga routine

A video of a mum breastfeeding her daughter in the middle of a yoga routine has gone viral online and is drawing mixed reactions.

Carlee Benear regularly shares photos and videos of her yoga routines with her 55,000 followers on Instagram, and one of her latest videos was shared on Facebook.

“It's not every day that I get a good length video of #breastfeedingyoga,” she captioned the video on Instagram.

“It's my job to show you that you can control yourself in even the trickiest situations,” she’s said previously.

The artist and ‘researcher of life’ says it’s an incredible bonding experience with her baby but the footage hasn’t been welcomed by all.

The video has viewed 52m times but many have slammed her for putting her daughter in danger “for the sake of clicks”.

“What if she fell on her child? Broke the neck or something because they’re tiny creatures,” one person commented online.

“Just because you ‘can’ doesn’t mean you ‘should’. Just because you ‘did’ doesn’t mean you should post it on the Internet,” another said.

“Breast-feeding is supposed to be something between mother and child to make the child feel secure and safe and have a special bond, it’s not something that should be posted all over the Internet for the world to see,” added another person.

While many people thought the video was “weird”, there were plenty that were impressed with her strength and her ability to multitask.

“I thought this was super cool,” one person said.

“I'm dead, this kid has no time for mum’s yoga, she needs the milkies right now! So cute! You go mumma,” another cheered her on.
