Not quite like wireless though, there has to be a latch on and suction, can’t just faceplant a baby on a boob.
The umblilical cord is a baby's power cord until they are ready for wireless charging (breastfeeding)

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.

So babies are more like the magsafe charger then.
BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 8 months ago
Not even that, a newborn is able to crawl to the breast and start latching immediately after birth.
insaneinthemembrane@lemmy.world 8 months ago
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.
PlasmaDistortion@lemm.ee 8 months ago
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!
cloudless@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Someone has to make a wireless charger with a nipple on it.
OneLemmyMan@lemmy.world 8 months ago
do you mean a regular usb cable with a tit shaped connector?
naticus@lemmy.world 8 months ago
My electric toothbrush kinda has a nipple shaped wireless charger.
CodingCarpenter@lemm.ee 8 months ago
Well if you do that thing it does get your partner awfully hot
OneLemmyMan@lemmy.world 8 months ago
its not wireless the tit is the wire. Wireless would be touching the mothers skin and the milk is just transfered to the baby.
OneLemmyMan@lemmy.world 8 months ago
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.
cloudless@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Ok your wife is the docking station then.
rtxn@lemmy.world 8 months ago
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.

“T-minus 72 hours until cargo bay jettison.
Go for retro burn. Pod orientation is now inverted.
T-minus 48 hours.
Umbilical is confirmed powered down. Pod is now on internal power.”
