A transgender woman has been able to breastfeed a baby in the first recorded case of its kind, researchers say.
The 30-year-old wanted to breastfeed after her pregnant partner said she did not want to do it herself, according to the Transgender Health journal.
She was able to breastfeed after taking a course of drugs and breast pumping, the US case report said.
A UK expert said the "exciting" research could lead to more cases of transgender women breastfeeding. The woman had been on hormone replacement therapy for six years, but had not gender reassignment surgery, when she approached doctors with the aim of breastfeeding the child.
Before the baby was born, doctors put her on a three-and-a-half-month course of treatment to help her artificially produce milk, usually given to women who have adopted babies or who have them via surrogates.
This included breast pumping, taking hormones produced by biological mothers, a drug which can stimulate milk production and a male hormone blocker.
As a result, the woman was able to produce a "modest but functional" amount of breast milk - some 8oz a day.
Researchers said this was the baby's only source of nutrition for its first six weeks, during which time her growth, feeding and bowel habits were "developmentally appropriate".
After this, the baby also started having formula milk because not enough breast milk was being produced.
The baby is now six months old and she continues to be breastfed as part of her diet, the study's authors said.
Dr Channa Jayasena, a senior lecturer at Imperial College who specialises in reproductive endocrinology, said the research was an "exciting development".
He said he had heard of a few cases in the UK of transgender women being helped to breastfeed, but until now no report has been published.

Because, it’s for the children, right?
No, it’s only for the selfish perverted desires of loonies and the so-called doctor’s that empower the insanity.

I dunno. I find that engine oil doesn’t really develop it’s nuanced taste and bouquet until it’s been aged for at 100,000 miles. But that’s just me.

Yup.

A quick comet strike would be too merciful.
Seriously? How much do you want to bet that "it" and the baby's mother are out there every weekend protesting against Genetically Modified Foods???
There is no significant difference between milk from cows given rBGH and from cows that did not receive it. It's a lot like the "organic" labelling--trendy, drives up prices, but is nonsensical in any real scientific way.
Prayers up for that baby.
Its my fault. I clicked on the story even after I read the headline. I have no-one to blame but myself..
Ain't science great!
“It’s a lot like the “organic” labelling—trendy, drives up prices, but is nonsensical in any real scientific way. “
You are wrong! Organic food gots electrolytes!
People are remaining sick or are dying due to delay or denial of medical treatment under the UK’s medical insurance plan, but medical science turns its resources and efforts toward helping an insane man produce milk.
