After rereading my last post on male breastfeeding in the light of day, I'd
like to add one more note: although my significant other has no desire to
take over the breastfeeding function, he is comfortable enough with his body
image that he has joked with his child about asking him to nurse. Our little
guy thought that was hilarious, and declared "Daddies have no nai-nai!"
Later he turned around and asked his older brother for "nai-nai's" as a joke,
too, and both were giggling as they snuggled in our (nursing spot) recliner,
and the little guy was lifting his brother's shirt and making "pretend
nursing" sounds.
I see such an episode as healthy and nurturing, and evidence that my three
boys are growing up to be wonderful fathers, like their own dad.
