One in three dads try breastmilk

One in three new dads in Britain admit to trying their partner's breastmilk.

Cow & Gate undertook a poll of 1,690 men to discover their attitudes on breastfeeding.

They say the results explode the myth that fathers feel excluded when their partner breastfeeds a new baby.

Not only did 74% of all men say they felt included, but a third admitted to trying their partner's breastmilk.

The majority of those who have tasted breastmilk (69%) were found in East Anglia - nearly three times the number found in Greater London (25%) and more than double those interviewed in the North (29%).

Interestingly none of the men surveyed in the North or Scotland would actually deny tasting their partner's milk but those in the South were more reserved.

Dr Natasha Bye, Head of Scientific Affairs at Cow & Gate, said: "Cow & Gate is encouraged to see that fathers are supporting their partners in the choice to breastfeed as breastfeeding is best for babies and provides many benefits."

I didn't really need to know.

When I saw "Cow & Gate" I thought you were having us all on; but it's a real company. They also seem to have broken the rules when it comes to describing the contents of their baby formala product. They are not alone in this.

Anyhooooo, breast feeding sucks.

My psychology teacher said he had a friend who breastfed her son and he was 10.

On a slightly different subject (but strangely similar) I once saw an episode of Richard and Judy when there were two women on extolling the virtues of drinking your own urine.
When cheeky Richard asked if people didn't think they were a bit weird for doing this, they said it wasn't uncommon and that most people in the midlands do it. Fact!
