To think any man that wants to ‘breastfeed’…

[Wouldloveanother]

Is seriously shady and I’m absolutely incredulous that LLL is encouraging this?

@Hallyup89 if a regular ‘cis’ man tried to latch a baby and ‘breastfeed’ people would call him a pervert or worse.
study that it’s safe please? ‘Likely not harmful’ isn’t good enough - this is a baby’s food we are talking about not a new beauty treatment

Because a woman is an adult human female, and humans can't change sex.

Likely not harmful? Actual breastfeeding mothers avoid coffee, alcohol and even painkillers because it could harm their baby but thi

"Most likely not toxic" is nowhere near good enough.

Formula milk manufacturers have to meet far higher safety standards than "most likely not toxic" before their products are approved for consumption by human infants.

Only two incidences of successfully induced lactation in transwomen. By successful, they mean 'managed to produce sone milk'. In the article they state that only 3-5 oz per day was possible and that cross sex hormones and androgen suppressors are not recommended as they pass into breast milk and has been linked to development of ambiguous genitalia in pregnancy. Additionally, the high doses of domperidone have raised issues due to the effects of QTc prolongation.

All in all not something I'd be willing to experiment with on babies, for the sake of someone being able to have the 'authentic female experience'

@Hallyup89 ok 🙄

Yes, most neonatal doctors get their safety information from magazines. Got a problem with that, hun?

If male bodied people can breast feed babies in a way that is safe and nourishing for the baby, why doesn’t this happen more generally?

Likely not harmful? Actual breastfeeding mothers won’t take coffee, alcohol or even painkillers because it might harm their baby but this man's drug filled secretions are worth the risk because they validate a male's feelings? Fuck that.

‘Genuinely wants to be a woman’ so this is about affirming them even by your admission!

What the actual fuck. 'Chest feed' 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

Maybe DH could help with night feeds! 😅

I don't think anybody is disputing the fact that trans men can lactate (subject to the effect of any surgery etc).

When an actual woman breastfeeds, the milk changes in composition according to baby's needs.
The production of colostrum at the beginning of breastfeeding, the production of fore milk and hind milk. Not to mention the higher fat content during a growth spurt.
Can a cocktail of drugs mimic that?

Sorry my previous link didn't work. Here is an article from the journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism on this matter. Caution is advised because they rightly recognise the potential dangers to the foetus.

I've read 2 blogs written by 'breastfeeding' transwomen. Both describe a sexual thrill. I have also read that the justification of that not being a concern is that women who breastfeed also find it sexual 🤔
It made my toes curl on occasion but never in a sexual way and I found it took time for me to see my breasts as sexual again after finishing breastfeeding
Similar to the claims that women get a sexual thrill from clothing so can also be AGP. A claim recently debunked by Blanchard

Fucking hell. But why am I not surprised? Let me guess the fetishist supporters will say it was a fake blog by GC women..!

Also the article I linked stated that breastfeeding was established at a satisfactory level FOR THE PATIENT.

Not the baby. You know, the person who is ACTUALLY supposed to benefit from breastfeeding.

Let that sink in for a bit.

I’ll just leave this here

That anyone would get a sexual thrill from breastfeeding is wrong on so many levels 😭😭 @WeAreOnTheRoadToNowhere

I don’t even want that in my internet history

It’s written by a doctor.

Haven't read the whole thread but the LLL has said that for years, it's fucking nuts.
Also from same book- 'I'd like to express so my husband can bottle feed to get the same closeness to the baby/give me some sleep' LLL answer- no it doesn't work like that, baby need to learn that food only comes from one parent (I'm paraphrasing because I threw the book in the bin)
The book states you can take a few weeks to stimulate milk production even if you haven't given birth but also says don't you dare even miss one feed because then your supply will grind to a halt and you won't be able to breastfeed.

It's like the charters were written by different people!

All the same; I don’t want it in my history. I’m sick of these attempts to sexualise female bodily processes. Anyone on here who has breastfed will tell you they got zero sexual thrill.
