I wasn’t sure whether I’d be able to breastfeed because I have a liver condition and need daily steroid medication. After discussions with my midwife and obstetrician, it was agreed that I could. But when my daughter was born 11 weeks early and admitted to neonatal intensive care, I couldn’t breastfeed her directly. I expressed milk instead. There were careful discussions about whether my milk was suitable for her and whether any surplus could safely be donated to other premature babies. That’s how seriously infant feeding is normally treated: careful assessment, evidence and the baby’s welfare coming first. Yet we’re now expected to applaud giving healthy men drugs to produce a few drops of milk-like secretion and treat it as equivalent to breastfeeding. And this is before we even address the fact that many people would find the idea of a man wanting to breastfeed a baby deeply unsettling - and believe it raises legitimate safeguarding questions. When did protecting adult feelings become more important than asking sensible questions about what’s in a baby’s best interests?
