MEN CAN BREASTFEED?

I know! I know! That's ridiculous when one thinks about it...but simply because we got used to the idea that "Mother's do the breastfeeding"! But according to this very short article I came across, a Jarred Diamond, a physiology professor in UCLA, it is NOT IMPOSSIBLE since "Men have undeveloped milk production". He actually just predicts that since there are thousands of cases before that men produced milk due to hormonal imbalance, with the continuous technological advancement and of broadening knowledge, there will come a time that MEN CAN BREASTFEED.

The problem I see here though is men's acceptance of such idea...unless maybe if they perceive themselves mother's and not father's to their kids.

How about you? Can you share your view on this? Any reaction?

GIFT FOR EXPECTANT PARENTS

One of the most awaited time of an adult in a family life is the bringing forth of another being into the world: child birth. This is the equivalent of him + her, and the happiness felt during this vulnerability is unsurpassable. And sharing this moment with them through the gifts we give them is an added warmth that will not be forgotten.

CHOOSE something that will have a personal touch. Something that may be big or small but will matter to them and not just giving anything just to have something handed over. Being in that waiting stage, we can make it more exciting by giving what their “parent life” will need. Not always necessarily for the baby, since we can give that during the baby shower (or the Offering). It will be much better to give them what THEY will need. Something like a timer a “tight in the schedule mom” might need, a desk calendar for “office dads”, a one click wall lamp for parents who will have to walk to the nursery at night, a scented candles and shower gels to keep the love going though now a three-some...etc.

Think of what you want and see if they want them, too. There’s a high probability that you have the same “parent need” that will be the best gift to have and give them.
