Baby & Bulldog Born On Same Day Think They’re Brothers And Do Everything Together

309

ADVERTISEMENT

Dog’s are often called “man’s best friend,” but what about babies? When Chicago mother Ivette Ivens, 25, saw a French bulldog puppy that was born on the same day as her baby son Dilan, she knew it was a sign. “I saw Farley’s birth date and just knew it’s meant to be,” she told the Daily Mail.

Farley, the little bulldog pup, joined the family about five months ago and has been following around baby Dilan ever since. “I’m pretty sure Dilan thinks they’re both the same species, as they walk at the same level and are both going through the stage of chewing on everything.”

We recently featured Ivens and her breastfeeding photo series “I breastfeed my toddler,” which was exhibited in Chicago; later this year, she is releasing her photo-book, Breastfeeding Goddess. Ivens also specializes in family photography.

    “Farley is very gentle and clumsy at times – we have to remember he is still only a baby, too”

    “My little Dilan is a chilled-out baby and he’s always happy, but for some reason Farley really cracks him up. I love seeing them together”

    “He cleans up Dilan’s mess after he eats, and always licks Dilan’s neck if he is crying, so he starts laughing out loud”

    What is "weird" about a mother breast feeding? JFC - we have become plastic people.

    The last photo disrupted the magic of true companionship and innocence. Photo essays can be deeply moving if the theme is maintained. In this case, the continuity between the Dilan and Farley is broken by the last photo.

    Beautiful pics, & I'm not creeped by the last one, but the only way it would have fit the narrative was if the pup had been nursing rather than another human, LOL.

    All other photos are adorable, but the last one is just not in the norm in the Western countries. Maybe even in the east too. Did anyone ever read that these moms who breasts feed toddlers have an organic experiences? Maybe this is why it is done, also, frowned upon it. Something to think about. Why so many are so adamant about continuing to breasts feed?

    The last one was unnecessary. I breast feed my kids and never felt the urge or need to flaunt it. It was baby and me time.

    First of all. World health association recommends that a child breastfeeds until the age of 4. And it does relate to the article because she says that he also loves being with the other family too. Also if breastfeeding children makes you uncomfortable then you have issues.

    That is because, in many developing countries, quality food is not highly available. No reason to do so where good nutritional food is available.
