Baby #2 For Pregnant Man Is Breastfed! (Confused Yet?)

Tuesday June 16, 2009

Only one short year ago, the world was blown away by news that transgender Thomas "Pregnant Man" Beatie, had given birth to a little girl. Well, last week he balanced the sexes in his household by delivering a baby boy.

Now, here's the best part...Nancy Beatie, Thomas' wife, will be breastfeeding the new baby, just as she did with their daughter. Many people question how this is possible if Nancy had never delivered any babies. The answer is simple: she induced lactation. This situation is clearly the most interesting as both partners have very physical roles in helping their baby to thrive, but the truth is that adoptive moms do it all the time.

So, the moral of the story? Never say never!
