baby crying? get your nips out dad

Britain, UK news from The Times and The Sunday Times - Times Online:


"A MAN'S nipples are perfectly suited to soothing a crying baby until it can be fed, according to a report on fatherhood. "

The Times reports on the trend around the world of men offering up their nipples to their crying infants for soothing purposes (I guess some men might excrete pure beer mind you!)
Now as a totally failed breast feeder, who was never comfortable with it. This fills me with horror. Imagine it. Sat in the beer garden with your kids. Dad suddenly whips up his FCUK tee-shirt and starts the babe sucling. Ewww comments anyone?

as a successful and evangelical breastfeeder, it fills me with horror too! Men's nips don't work! Babies are not stoopid! anyone whose baby is remotely comforted by daddy's nips should put the kid's name down for specail school.

Also, a clean pinkie finger works wonders till mum shows up with the goods
