Swedish dad in bid for breast milk
Swedish father Ragnar Bengtsson, 26, has entered into an experiment that he hopes will help him breastfeed his future children.
On Tuesday, the Stockholm family man began stimulating his breasts with a pump in a bid to produce milk.
"Anything that doesn't do any harm is worth trying out. And if it works it could prove very important for men's ability to get much closer to their children at an early stage," Bengtsson told The Local.
His efforts are to be documented by Swedish TV8, with the first instalment scheduled to air at 9pm on Wednesday on the Aschberg show. Bengtsson also maintains a blog on the station's website, the title of which translates as: 'The Milkman - One Drop at a Time'.
Bengtsson is preparing to pump his breasts at three-hour intervals every day until the beginning of December. As a full time economics student at Stockholm University, he is not always going to be in a position to pump in private.
"I'm going to have to pull out the pump during lectures. But really it doesn't bother me if it makes people uncomfortable. If they have issues with it that's their problem," he said.
Male lactation is a relatively common side effect of hormone treatments, but Bengtsson has no plans to chemically induce the process.
"If it works and the milk turns out to have a high nutritional value it could be a real breakthrough," he said.
Bengtsson has a 2-year-old son who is in no way involved in the experiment, but the Stockholm dad doesn't rule our breastfeeding any future kids. Not everybody has acclaimed his quest for fathers' milk, however.
"There have been a lot of strong reactions. Some people think it's completely sick," he said.
Sigbritt Werner, professor of endocrinology at Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, told The Local that it could be possible for Bengtsson to produce "a drop or two" after three or four months.
"Women breastfeed after they've been bathing in estrogen during a nine month pregnancy, so obviously it takes some time. But if he works on it regularly he'll likely notice a layer of tissue forming beneath the areola and it should be possible to produce enough of the hormone prolactin to cause lactation," she said.
But Werner stressed that while she was interested in the subject, she was more keen for men to use their breasts to comfort their children.
"Men often have trouble finding things. And if the mother is out, the child is screaming and they can't find the pacifier I'm sure there are a lot of men who give their baby their breasts.
"Healthy children know instinctively that the breast has a dual function. One gives them milk, the other gives them warmth and a cosy bond. Men don't need to strive to produce milk but they should take the opportunity to get closer to their child by offering them their breasts in the same way as women," she said.
I personally think it's un-natural and bit disgusting too, but it's not my business. He can do whatever he wants, but why? If he can produce 1-2 drops by 3-4 months of active pumping, it's hardly worth of all trouble.
Edit: I noticed later, that this post might belong to some other category than the General news. If so, I hope the moderators could move it to some other place.

I agree with you. I'd have serious doubts about my choice for the father of my children if he'd want to breastfeed them. lolOriginally Posted by TheOne

Is anybody really suprised at stories like this, after decades of feminists emasculating Swedish men? It's called correlation folks. The viking ancestors weep at these pathetic excuses for men.

Yes I’m appalled by this to; personally.
But; and there is a big and slightly strategic ‘but’ – I support this twisted mangina and any others like him to gain the bio-ability (if possible) and RIGHT of sexual equality.
It would satisfy me for such a policy to be pushed in the same way as gay and lesbian couples have the feminist insistence of ‘equality’ to have children against the providence of nature. If idiot lefty feminists can push for countless polices of diabolical a-natural advantage so that they can have some distorted concept of equality (privilege); then why not male breast feeding?
The idea appeals to me because its obvious feminists would hate this encroachment in to what they presume is only their domain. Since they are so keen to gain every privilege against nature and common sense under the distorted morals of their ‘equality concept’ it would be good to present them with the same outrage.
I would feel this is quite revolting personally, but on a ridiculous extrapolation of medical science, if it was at all possible to gestate a foetus without women; I would support that as long as feminism remains as it is.
Promoted under their definitions of equality, removing the monopoly of female gestation would severely undermine their status and power.
In a future world I’d hate to be pregnant (well if it could ever happen, I guess it would be through artificial placentas), but the idea is rather appealing, in principle, because of how the femi-bigots would have their own game turn against them.
So breast feeding males? Promote it because that’s how stupidly feminists force everybody to accept their twisted views of equality.
Nature doesn’t equalise, because father nature is wisdom, feminist ‘equality’ is a mockery of natural wisdom.
Just like male breast feeding.......and non mothering childbirth?
In the absence of reason and common sense from feminists; give them their own medicine I say, and make them taste it like we‘ve had to.

I don’t know if I can do a good job, but I might see if I can write down the details of a peculiar conversation I had with a Swedish woman who was beginning to see the flip side of feminism and the effect of Vikings to poodles.
I found the conversation reviling and topical about the genuine falsehood of feminism as many Swedish women actually see it, but would never admit openly. Oh it was confirmed by another Swede as well. It’s just that the context of the conversation might make some people feel uncomfortable about aspects of desire, sexuality and race – touchy subjects, at the best of times.

Great Youtube vid from ramzpaul on the subject:
