‘My Unorthodox Life’ Star Julia Haart Admits To Breastfeeding Brother

My Unorthodox Life star Julia Haart details revelations from her life as an Orthodox Jew, including breastfeeding her brother under her supervision.

Her brother is a few months younger than her eldest daughter, Batsheva Haart.

Haart joined Amanda Hirsch for her podcast Not Skinny but Not Fat, when the actress blurted, “You wanna hear a real mind—? I nursed my brother.”

This comes after Haart left the Orthodox community in 2013, noting that the religion made her question her “entire life – silently, inside.”

“My mother was like, ‘Oh, you’re already nursing your daughter. Take him, too,” said the actress unfazed. “So, I ended up nursing my brother and my daughter. That’s a mindf–k.”

The fashion designer explained that, at the time, she had just welcomed daughter Batsheva, and her mother had given birth to Shlomo, her brother.

Haart went on to compare her Orthodox life to living in the 1800s. “Go back a couple hundred years, everyone had a wet nurse, right? You didn’t nurse your own baby if you had money. That’s the community I lived in. I lived in the 1800s.”

Haart did note that she believes her brother does not remember the experience. “I don’t think he remembers,” she said.
