A friend sent me this clipping from the San Francisco Examiner. She said
it's like the National Enquirer. All the wonderful information we try to get
published for WBW and this is the kind of stuff that hits the papers.
I don't think my husband would go for this. He liked not having to get up at
night!

IS THE WORLD READY FOR BREAST-FEEDING MEN?
Dads may soon be able to breast-feed their babies, says a leading scientist.
All men have the potential to produce milk because both sexes have mammary
glands, says Jared Diamond, a physiology proessor at the University of
California at Los Angeles.
At first, male milk production would have to be artificially stimulated
through hormones or manual stimulation, but there have already been cases of
it happening naturally.
"There are several reports of apparently normal adult men nursing babies,"
says Diamond,an award-winning scientist and author. "One whose milk was
analyzed secreted milk sugar, protein and salts at levels similar to those of
mothers' milk."
