For many men fatherhood is not quite the same unless they have shared the experience as far as possible. A survey has found that a third of modern fathers admit to tasting their wifes or girlfriends breast milk. The researchers discovered that it is fairly common for fathers to drink breast milk several times, especially with subsequent children even though they did not particularly like the taste.
The fathers surveyed said the milk-tasting was part of an emotional urge to immerse themselves in the process of infant rearing far removed from the bitty, bitty sketch in the BBCs cult comedy Little Britain in which a fortysomething character played by David Walliams demands to be suckled by his mother.
The willingness for fathers to admit such urges is thought to be part of a growing trend for men to seek ways of enriching the pregnancy experience.
It was just part of the whole having-a-baby experience, said Andrew Brown, a 36-year-old television producer from Totnes, Devon, who has two children.
Watching my children getting nourishment from my wife was intensely moving and I wanted to be part of it all. I just did it spontaneously.
Oh thats just gross dude!
OH,,MY,,,LORD
I hope the next generation of British men get their balls and their guns back.
Sounds like a bit of a fetish to me. The infant needs the
milk, the father doesn't.
Ya gotta check for protein and butterfat content!!!
Bleeech.
But maybe in a milkshake ......?

We have breached the final taboo, kids. ew.
Gentlemen...Guinness is good for you.
Learn it. Know it. Live it.
If you have sex after having a baby then your likely to encounter breast milk. LOL
Wow, I'm almost Noble. Sweet.
Coming soon to California and spreading eastward like most "trends" in this country.
"The fathers surveyed said the milk-tasting was part of an emotional urge to immerse themselves in the process of infant rearing"
Forgot to add: more like its jelous dads trying to get some attention back from their newly mommified wives. I suggest high-protein counseling instead.
Now that's just silly. I don't believe this is widespread for a minute.

Obviously no one has told you about the 'New Age' custom of cooking up the placenta for dinner.
Now That's GROSS.

Sorry, but I believe it's a lost cause. Their best are coming here and to Aussieland. The remaining are too lazy and complacent to make a difference. Let's hope we can reverse our trend of becoming like 'em.
Well said!
Excuse me?
Ivan, still in the UK
