Mika Minio-Paluello 'chest feeding' real baby

Just that really. I was horrified to see this man with a baby suckling his nipple. It was bad enough pretending to be a mum on the News te other day. Why the hell are they giving him airtime????

I find it interesting that the news articles about this always say "transwomen can breastfeed too" when really it should say "men can breastfeed too". There's nothing to preclude a man inducing lactation. It's not the lady brain, it's the cocktail of drugs!

I am wholly against involving babies in unnecessary experiments but as it seems to be happening anyway we can rejoice that in the distant future perhaps dads will, as a matter of course, induce lactation in themselves so they can assist with the night feeds 🤨

I was given anti-emetic drugs and found I was producing something from my nipples (I'm mid-50s), they can apparently cause prolactin to be released. I can't imagine though that it would have the right composition to feed a baby, doesn't the mother's milk change in line with the needs of the baby, I'd imagine that takes quite biologically-complex processes?

It is this kind of thing that really won't age well when society wakes up. It's so shocking that future generations simply won't believe it. It's just so, so unjustifiable to feed a baby a cocktail of artificially induced hormone juice.

MissingMoominMamma · 07/07/2023 09:03

Ffs. There are biological women who can’t breastfeed and just get on with it.

Why the fuck are human babies being used as props for people who weren’t biologically designed to carry, or feed a child?

thebabessavedme · 07/07/2023 09:09

So breastfeeding mothers have been told for YEARS that they should not drink alcohol, take painkillers etc while producing milk for their babies, women have said for YEARS that some foods if eaten will affect their babies through the milk, (strong flavours etc) yet all of a sudden its ok for a man to take a cocktail of drugs to produce 'milk' and its yea ok to give it to new born babies.

selfish selfish selfish.

FireflyJar · 07/07/2023 09:13

Whose baby is it anyway???
Is there a female in the background who is letting her child be abused, because that's what I believe must be happening.

But it's not a fetish obviously...

This is absolutely for the benefit of the man and not the baby. A woman who wishes to breastfeed but cannot for any reason is encouraged to formula feed, not take a cocktail of drugs. A man can do the same.

Rocket1982 · 07/07/2023 09:15

the drug domperidone is also prescribed to breastfeeding mothers who don’t produce sufficient milk. All this hysteria about possible side effects for the baby from that is pretty insensitive.

WhisperingAutistic · 07/07/2023 09:16

And remember, it's only called chest feeding when a biological woman does it. Ditto birthing parent.
Men are breast feeding and are to be called mothers

Ostryga · 07/07/2023 09:18

It’s child abuse in my eyes, men should not be using innocent babies to further their delusions.

FireflyJar · 07/07/2023 09:19

The nspcc have said it is ok for someone to feed their child whatever way they like

The same NSPCC who weren't bothered that they had a guy working there wanking in their toilets wearing rubber and sharing it online.

fioritura · 07/07/2023 09:24

There’s usually a fetish behind it too, this guy is all over the internet wearing nipple clamps. I’m sure there was another breastfeeding man who found being dressed like cow erotic 🙄

ugh, why do people keep capping for these privileged ass males

FireflyJar · 07/07/2023 09:24

If the thread gets pulled, it's only the trans women complaining

What the fuck. That poor baby, the chemicals it's digesting. Child abuse.

Yes it's the same person.

Even when it’s for sexual gratification? Which let’s be realistic here, breastfeeding when male isn’t for the benefit of the child.

What the fuck.

Yeah, and the CPS have just defined misgendering and refusing family money to transition as domestic abuse.

Imagine having a baby with someone and then finding yourself in a situation where they decide they want to actually be a mother and breastfeed too, who the fuck do you even turn to? You can’t say no, you’ll be classed as a domestic abuser and they can report you to the police and social services who will take your contact with your child into consideration.

No one is hysterical. Women are quite rightly disgusted by this. Men taking off label drugs to stimulate liquid production from their nipples is not the same as a woman who is struggling to breastfeed being prescribed a medication by a consultant for short term use when all else has failed.

It's offensive to draw parallels.

Sunnydaysarentagiveneveninjuly · 07/07/2023 09:43

Nspcc told me it would have been nice for the sex offender (exh had around our dc...)to have spent time with our dc.. No faith in them.

MalcolmTuckerIsMySpiritAnimal · 07/07/2023 09:45

I’m so sick of this shit. Wish they’d all just fuck off. Keep babies out of your sick fetishised bullshit, you absolute bellend.

Rainbowshit · 07/07/2023 09:47

I didn't even take paracetamol when breastfeeding as my primary care was for the health b’s well being of my babies. It's utterly selfish for these fetishistic males to expose babies to the cocktail of drugs necessary to induce galactorrhea. Domperidone is banned by the FDA because of fears over cardiac issues.

This in spades.

So sick of it , Babies used as fetishised props.
Grotesque.

Buy a 'silicone' baby if one wants to play at ''Chest'' feeding.
