"Anyway, both male and female babies are born with the main milk ducts intact--the gland that produces milk is there in the male, but it remains undeveloped unless stimulated by the female hormone, estrogen. Occasionally, a male baby is born with enough of his mother's estrogen in his body to produce a bizarre phenomenon known as "witches' milk," with the male glands, suitably stimulated, pumping away at the moment of birth.
In the adult male, the dormant glands can still be revived by a sufficient dose of estrogen. Actual lactation is rare--only a couple cases have been recorded. But at least one writer (Daly, 1978) has suggested that the "physiological impediments to the evolution of male lactation do not seem individually surmountable." Meaning we may yet see the dawn of the truly liberated household."
Witches Milk as an awesome name for a band and I'd like to be in it. I have long hair, tattoos, flares and a low slung guitar...I believe I am qualified for the position.
I sense a band uniform coming on. I'm also tempted by a bandana, black jeans and biker books. I will also get a tattoo done of a witch suckling a piglet.
