Subject: Nursing Fathers

Anndalaine is now five months and I planned to nurse her six. When I first got pregnant, I talked to Pattie about Indused lactation in males. It would mean taking hormones so that he could nursed her. Ar first he found the idea very exciting, but then got scare after chatting with some people on line about the dangers of hormones, even under a doctor's supervision. I would never do anything to endanger Pattie, so I let the idea drop.

Recently, I was looking at lactation again and found that men not need to do anything artificial to lactate. Some, like Dustin Hoffman, nave lactated sympathetically. Others have willed the selves to have milk. There apparently was a tribe in South America discovered by the early missionaries where the men were the nurses and the women did not nurse. Nursing Fathers is even mentioned twice in the Bible. Apparently all that is necessary is that the baby try to nurse for some days and then the milk comes, even to men. After nursing men's breasts stay a bit larger.

So, I have had Pattie using a breast pump for the past 10 days or so and now he has a little milk. Yesterday I let Ann start on him and then I took her. Pattie was looking all dreamy, but still embarrassed while he breast fed Ann. This week he will be nursing her before she gets her bottle of my milk.

Love, Charlaine
