Swedish bloke attempts lactation
September 14th, 2009
A Swedish dad who hopes he might in future be able to help out his missus in the breastfeeding department has embarked on a rigorous programme of moob-pumping to entice vital nourishment from his chest.
Ragnar Bengtsson, 26, has begun “stimulating his breasts with a pump” at three-hour intervals, and will continue to do so until December for the viewing pleasure of audiences of TV8, which is documenting the audacious experiment.
Bengtsson told The Local: “Anything that doesn’t do any harm is worth trying out. And if it works it could prove very important for men’s ability to get much closer to their children at an early stage.”
He added: “If it works and the milk turns out to have a high nutritional value it could be a real breakthrough.”
