hi everyone,
not sure if this topic was posted b4 or if anyone knows abt this..
but ytd, when i was having my haircut, i came across an article abt daddies can actually breastfeed!
as in, they can also produce milk (though not as much as mummies) to BF their babies!
all they need is some stimulation of their nipples n WALAAAA~ like mummies, they will hv BM!
it is said that male breasts have milk ducts, and some mammary tissue.
They also have oxytocin and prolactin, the hormones responsible for milk production. There have been reports of men who were able to produce milk through extensive breast and nipple stimulation, but no one knows whether the milk was of the same composition or quality as the kind women produce. Using a pump, or a feeding tube (a small silicone tube attached to a plastic bottle filled with formula) at his breast, he might be able to get a baby to latch on and suckle, but how long it would take to produce even drops of milk is anyone’s guess.
interesting topic??
