The man who swears by breast milk

Drop of the good stuff?
A 59 Year Old American man is still drinking Breast milk.
No It's not George W Bush. Calm down.
But all I can say is 'BITTY'.

but - why is drinking human breast milk considered more disgusting than drinking the breast milk of other species? We drink cow, goat and even sheep breast milk without a second thought.

Hmmm. The female human body is designed after pregnancy to norish it's offspring until it gets enough food from other sources. Really by a year the child should not need breast feeding.
Now ok we drink milk from cows etc because we've found that it's nutricious but the thought of human milk banks seems wrong. Women aren't milk banks.
There is no research that shows drinking breast milk that's designed for the human infant to be beneficial at all. It's just not designed for that. It doesnt even hold all the stuff a child needs by the time it reaches 6 months. A child purely breast feed will be lacking in lots of stuff .
Dunno maybe for me its the sexual conoctation of it all...maybe I'm weird

I wasn't having a go at you, just musing on society's attitude to some things.

Tho I have to disagree with you about feeding babies. Mine had nothing but bitty for the first 6 months (and was weaned very gradually thereafter). You've seen him, does he look like he didn't get enough nourishment? ;-)
