There is an article in a back issue of "Mothering" magazine that talked about
this.  My brain is soggy on the country and I don't know where the issue is at
the moment as I have many out on loan, but somewhere in the world, I almost
want to say Pakistan but I really do not think that is correct - a father had
called into a talk show concerned that he had ingested some of his wife's
breastmilk accidentally during love making.  According to their (religious?)
law, a mom breastfed for 2 years and any other child who suckled at her breast
was considered a "milk sibling" (or something like that).  Or maybe he was
considered a milk baby of the mom.  Anyway, the father was concerned that he
was now a child of sorts to the mom and genuinely concerned that he was now in
an incestous, if you will, relationship with his wife.

My facts may be a little foggy but this is the gist as I remember it!
