I’ve heard of men who wear pregnancy suits to feel what it’s like to be pregnant, but I’d never heard of a man hooking himself up to a breastpump to see what a breastfeeding mom goes through . . . until now. A couple of the dads at Dad Labs experimented with a breastpump and videotaped it for your enjoyment. It’s pretty hilarious if you can get past the hairy nipples. I haven’t shown it to Josh yet, but I’m sure he’ll be slightly squeamish.
Steve at Inside Fatherhood also pointed out a link to a video with a different male experience of breastfeeding.

[...] Oh dear Lord! What is this? Well Googa Baby brought it to our attention the nifty breast pump for men. What have we turned into people? Am I the only one who finds this disturbing? I guess the reasoning behind this has to do with the whole sympathy thing. There are pregnancy suits that are available for men to wear so they can experience what their beloved pregnant spouse is going through. Ok I would never do it and I guess that isn’t too disturbing, just weird. But to actually have a breast pump for men? This has to be a gag gift of some sort or some perverted male sex toy. [...]

what a great idea if it works.all we ever hear about is how hard it is for women but as soon as men find away to really help eg breast feed the women then say oh my god thats sexual perversion.what about single dads who have lost there wifes due to illness or accident. what women has the right to say those children miss out because a man breast feeding his motherless child is perverted .some of you womenneed to get of yourfemale liberated moralistic ego trip and really look at the facts.if men where as self centred as women you would still be walking, not have the right to vote and not be able to enter the local pub.and just a thought to the women out there that are open minded if you could not breast feed the new treasure in your life .would you trust another woman ,can of powdered milk or the person who helped bring such a bundle of joy into your lives think about it .if men could actually breast feed i think most women would jump at the chance of bloody goodnights sleep unlike those women who use the word sex perversion to cover up there selfish ,jelious and dark ages beliefs
