Swedish Dad Tries to Breast-Feed

As I learned in the breast-feeding part of the baby classes my wife and I had to take through our midwives, it IS technically possible for men to lactate and nurse a baby.

But really, “can” doesn’t always mean “ought.”

[Rocco DiPippo]

Sick freak with too much time on his hands. Of course the Left will trumpet the actions of this weirdo as clear evidence that people can actually decide what sex they want to be.

Bingo. Short of your infant child starving to death due to no money/access to formula, no availability of a wet nurse, and a dead or otherwise unavailable mom. Perhaps that is why they are “able” but, the likelihood of ever needing to, well, are probably so miniscule as to border on my chances of winning the powerball.....

Hey that cat is barking,

Yep, it is.

[DesertConservative]

Didn’t these people used to be vikings, the terror of Europe and beyond? What the hell happened?

Socialism

Oh now thats gonna work REAL well.

Maybe Obama should try breastfeeding NANCY PELOSI... THAT WOULD BE WORTH PAYING FOR!

[Slings and Arrows]

I’d pay to NOT see that.

[lonestar]

Behaving stupidly.

[T Minus Four]

Under section 4 of the 1995 [Swedish] Parental Leave Act women employees are entitled to time off to breastfeed their children. They are also entitled to be transferred to other work where this is possible.

Please send me a check for $1000, and I won’t show the pic to you.

Not a good example. You see, some men might actually play the powerball...

[RichInOC]

“Anything that doesn’t do any harm is worth trying out.”

I’d like to disagree with that. Or at least, I’d like to disagree with the proposition that that doesn’t do any harm. That is just...disturbing.

[wombtotomb]

Take no offense grizzled :), but some men apparently actually breast feed as well........

I'd even offer encouragement!
