A New Blend Of Hormones Can Make Men Lactate & Breastfeed

Baby

What a time to be alive!!! I'm not sure whose cool with this, but I can safely say... I'm not. It's kind of freaking me out, TBH!  A product designer in England recently won an award for a new kit that would allow men to actually lactate and breastfeed their baby. Apparently guys already have the necessary breast tissue. It's just dormant. So she put together a prototype kit that includes a male maternity bra, and a breast pump. But the lactation part mainly involves two hormone pills. One is a birth control pill a lot of women take called progestin, that tricks your body into thinking you're pregnant. And the other pill makes you produce something called prolactin, which causes lactation. The man would start taking the first one nine months ahead of time, and the second one four times a day for six weeks before the due date. And she says combining them will make men lactate so they can breastfeed or chest-feed," as she calls it.  What is happening, 2019?  A handful of guys have already signed up for the first trial. And it could be on the market within five years. The woman behind it claims it's completely safe. And once you stop taking the pills, your body goes back to normal. She says she designed it to give men a new way to bond with their kids, and to help take pressure off moms. I mean... I love my mom & dad & neither of them breastfed me, so.... I feel like there's other ways to bond. Just saying.
