Susan: I have never recommended a dad suck on mom's breasts to relieve engorgement but over the years I have had several dads ask me if it was OK. My answer is: Whatever you do in the privacy of your own home is your business, and yes, it would help relieve engorgement and no, you are not depriving your baby of any milk." Enough said.
