From a Swedish blog:

“Hope Ragnar falls and hits head, so he can reverse the damage done at the time his mother dropped him with a head first into the floor ....”

Disgusting...

"The mouthful of hair the kid gets will probably make it scream louder..."

For some reason, I'm guessing Ragnar Bengtsson doesn't have much hair on his chest.

The comments at the site are actually conservative.

Pam Byrnes: I had no idea you could milk a cat!
Greg Focker: Oh, you can milk just about anything with nipples.
Jack Byrnes: [He reacts] I have nipples, Greg, could you milk me?

Uhh... I just... I’m really... honestly... speechless.

Wow... just... wow.

Parenting fail, biology fail... call it what you want. This is a gigantic Humanity FAIL.

“Any bets that he also pees sitting down? This is some sick $hi+.”

You won’t get any bets from me. I worked in Sweden for a few weeks back in 2000, and the company I was at had 3 or 4 unisex batrhrooms (individual rooms) instead of larger Mens and Womens rest rooms.

They actually had a stick figure showing a guy peeing standing up (complete with dassed line for pee!) and a red circle and slash through it.

They expected guys to sit and pee, I guess since women use the same room, etc...

Does this mean the child will grow up to be a serial killer?

... and a Whatsit.

[mowowie]

Yet another frigging Freak.

[nickcarraway]

Well, I think he lost his right to a Father’s Day present.

[PennsylvaniaMom]

Welllll...if I were this ‘SwedenMom’ there would NOT be a subsequent child. Evah...

Judith: [on Stan’s desire to be a mother] Here! I’ve got an idea: Suppose you agree that he can’t actually have babies, not having a womb - which is nobody’s fault, not even the Romans’ - but that he can have the *right* to have babies.
Francis: Good idea, Judith. We shall fight the oppressors for your right to have babies, brother... sister, sorry.
Reg: What’s the *point*?
Francis: What?
Reg: What’s the point of fighting for his right to have babies, when he can’t have babies?
Francis: It is symbolic of our struggle against oppression.
Reg: It’s symbolic of his struggle against reality.

EXACTLY!

Swedish Dad Tries to Breast-Feed

This doesn't surprise me...Not at all. Nor would "Dutch Dad...", "Manhattan Dad...", "San Francisco Dad...", or "London Dad..."

Now, were I to read something like, "Texas Dad Tries to Breast-Feed", I would truly be shocked. Stuned even.

You just CAN’T make this stuff up!!

“Women breastfeed after they’ve been bathing in estrogen during a nine month pregnancy, so obviously it takes some time,” Werner, a professor of endocrinology at Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, told The Local. “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.”

Philosophically the whole idea sounds like an homogenization of gender; physiologically one could think this fellow might have less abstract motives at this fallow time.
