Saw this in the news and thought it was worth discussion. I'm quite concerned about the use of drugs and what effect they could have on the baby. Plus the hormone replacement therapy this person has already been on for 6 years. It sounds a bit like experimenting on the baby and I'm not in favour of that without lots of studies to show its safe. I'd also like to know more about the vitamins and nutrients they tell us is in breast milk and why breast is best and whether they are present in the milk produced. Does the baby still get that or is it just basic nutrition?  "The 30-year-old wanted to breastfeed after her pregnant partner said she did not want to do it herself, according to the Transgender Health journal. She was able to breastfeed after taking a course of drugs and breast pumping, the US case report said."
