This is a medically trained male paramedic who did this by the way.
There have been numerous threads about this in the past and never once have we been offerred any benefit for the infant in all this. Not once.
This is the article that has caused two Australian women to receive letters stating they have broken the law.

Quite a few issues in that orginal article about Buckley.
Here is a few statements:
''To know I could breastfeed my own child and have that experience, I wanted to be a part of that. I wanted to know what it was like to be a mum and breastfeed."
and
'I will never know what's it like to menstruate or carry a baby or give birth,' Ms Buckley said.
'But to be told I could have the opportunity to breastfeed, it was something that was nice to be able to experience as a trans woman.'
and
'The first time it came out I just started leaking,' Ms Buckley said. 'Then I pumped and it was a weird feeling having a suction cap suck out milk, but it was exciting.
'I thought, "Oh my God, I am actually producing human milk".'
and
'Apart from the milk he was getting from me he was essentially starving,' Ms Buckley said of the couple's hungry son
'I genuinely believe had I not brought my breast milk into the hospital he could have become very sick with liver and kidney issues from lack of nutrition.'
and
'It was sad. It was frustrating, but as brief as it was, I did get to experience it. I would have preferred to do it a lot longer. But Auden's wellbeing was paramount.'
I am really looking forward to posters telling us just what about this interview is not pointing out that this all about the male. What part of these statements above are about the child.
Even when HCP's pointed out that the baby was starving, it was all about that adult male.
Why was the hospital letting an infant ‘starve’? Or did this couple refuse formula and manufacture the need for this male to then ‘rescue’ the newborn by feeding their son? It should be noted the medical team for the baby thought this was not an advisable option. This male did it anyway!
And those posters who support this male feeding secretions to that infant can also then point out just how that male feeding the newborn whatever the substance was they were producing was, how are they providing the newborn nutrition if the composition is unknown?
I doubt we will get any answers though.
That this endrocrinologist has spoken at AusPATH about this, and has 'assisted' FIVE other males to do this, I suspect each state in Australia will have some males to have done this already and quite a few more will be aiming for it.
The usual 'only one / two/ a few' rhetoric would be misinformed.
see below:
Dr Naomi Achong, a former president of Australian Professional Association for Trans Health (AusPATH), is the Brisbane endocrinologist who recommended Ms Buckley breastfeed Auden.
It is understood she has helped five other transgender women breastfeed.
Dr Achong spoke on the topic of 'lactation induction in transfemales' at a AusPATH conference last weekend and her talk was one of the most booked events.
