How trans women use a powerful mix of hormones, drugs and pumps to 'breastfeed' babies - but how safe is it really? And does it actually nourish a child?

Experts have today warned that biological males breastfeeding babies can be 'self-indulgent' and 'selfish' — with powerful medication used to produce the milk itself carrying a potential health risk.

It follows the case of a British transwoman sharing a photo of her breastfeeding her child on a bus, sparking criticism from gender critical campaigners.

Mika Minio-Paluello, a former Labour special adviser, came to public attention after discussing on the news how the soaring water bills were 'tough if you're a mum'.

Trans women, people who are biologically male but identify as a woman, must take powerful medication cocktails to be able to breastfeed.

The practice is controversial, however, as the preferred drug used to artificially make milk can pass through the fluid and potentially affect a baby's heart.

Domperidone is primarily used as an anti-nausea medication.

However, the drug — branded as Motilium — consequentially ups levels of prolactin, the hormone which encourages the production of milk, effectively tricking the body into producing it.

This has led to its use by some women, like adoptive mothers or those who conceive a child via surrogacy who don't undergo the changes that naturally lead to lactation.

At the same time, it has also been adopted by trans women desperate to boost milk production.

While not available on the NHS for this purpose, medics are allowed under UK rules to prescribe it to increase milk production 'off-label' — a technical designation when a drug is being provided outside of its intended use.

Subject is probably on enough antipsychotics to appear normal.And has appropriated the myth of sex change. Just as adolescents mimic their athletic or music idols in dress or behaviour.
When hippies wore long hair, grannie glasses, ladies didn’t wear bras or shave body hair, that was the same social dynamic. Only these newer trans people are severely mentally disturbed.

The old joke...if you’re neurotic,,,you build castles in the air...if you’re psychotic, you move in. This subject has moved in.

How could this possibly be good for the babies? I would think it would do them grave harm, all for the egos of those perverts. And why is there such a rise in perverts in the last few years anyway?

Kids will probably grow up to be morons like their parents.

MEN do not give birth to babies nor can the breast feed

Any baby fed using this scheme would be very skinny I think...

My wife used Domperidone when she was nursing our three adopted children. It did not allow her to make enough milk by itself so she used a device called lactaid, which is a tube attached to a baggy filled with formula/expressed breast milk, largely for the bonding experience.
