Swedish father Ragnar Bengtsson is
pumping his breasts at three-hour intervals every day, in the hope that eventually he will start to lactate and be able to breastfeed his future children. If it works, he has no plans to breastfeed his 2-year-old son. The experiment is being filmed by Swedish TV8.
Odds that he may produce some milk if he works at it long enough: pretty good. Odds that he'll produce enough to feed a child: close to zero. He could help his cause by starving himself, since starvation triggers male lactation. That's just one of the odd facts I happen to know. (
Thanks, Bob!)

Like that other guy, the actor . . . Yeah, I'm talkin' 'bout Shaft - Damn right!
I don't have hard data on this, but I'm guessing that way less than 1% of all breast-feeders are men.
