My comment contained an opinion and I believe it to be well-founded, even if unpopular here.

  When we're discussing controversial issues, the bar for civility and substantiveness goes up because the kindling is particularly dry and we don't want a flamewar. So we need commenters to bring their opinions clearly and carefully—we need more than "Yeah, good luck with that." If you believe something to be well-founded, please share its well-foundedness with us! That's what we're here for.

  That, and it's a bad opinion at that. Both men and women can breast-feed. Normally, after childbirth, hormones start production of milk in women. However, unless men are given a shot to simulate this, that doesn't happen.... Unless a baby breastfeeds on a man's nipples. After about 2 weeks, the man's body will start to produce milk as well. Aside size, there's functionally no difference between the two.

    The wikipedia article[0] on the matter says: > The phenomenon of successful human male breastfeeding has been credibly observed in several cases.[6] However, the cases are not sufficiently documented to allow distinguishing of possible pathologic galactorrhea. Where can I read more about this claim? 0: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Male_lactation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Male_lactation
