A 38-year-old Sri Lankan man, whose wife died three months ago, appears to have the ability to breast feed his two infant children, doctors told a local newspaper Wednesday.

B. Wijeratne from the central town of Walapone, 186 kilometres from the capital Colombo lost his wife when she died giving birth to their second child.

"My eldest daughter refused to be fed on powdered milk liquid in the feeding bottle," he said according to the Sinhalese-language daily Lankadeepa.

"I was so moved one evening and to stop her crying I offered my breast. I then realised that I was capable of breast feeding her," Wijeratne said.

Dr Kamal Jayasinghe, deputy director of a government hospital in the northwestern town of Kurunegala, was quoted in the Lankadeepa as saying that it was possible for men to produce breast milk if the prolactine hormone became hyperactive.

Thank you for explaining the difference in spelling.. That makes sense. The condition is also called hyperprolactinemia-- the meds for it make people really sick.

Dunno think if your hormones change it can happen( and it happens if you do housework, change diapers, watch sad emotional chick like movies, leave the toilet seat up etc).

Don't make wardaddy do any housework or this is what will happen. Having him put the toilet seat down is bad too.
