In theory, it is possible that a man could breastfeed. Male breasts have milk ducts, sinuses, and some mammary tissue. They also have oxytocin and prolactin, the hormones responsible for milk production. There have been reports of men who were able to produce milk through extensive breast and nipple stimulation, but no one knows whether the milk was of the same composition or quality as the kind women produce. Using a feeding tube (a small silicone tube attached to a plastic bottle filled with formula) at his breast, he might be able to get a baby to latch on and suckle, but how long it would take to produce even drops of milk is anyone's guess.

Actually men havethe capability to produce milk. It would take a lot of work and Dr visits and hormone shots, pumping, etc. But if you are willing I'd say go for it! If your not then you could just pretend to breast feed and be a human pacifier. What ever floats your boat! Remember, breast milk is best!!!!!

yes but you do not have the glands on the inside that produce the milk
you also do not have the right hormones that would trigger the glands you don't have to start producing milk
but you would make a great pacifier

If you want to breastfeed, go ahead. Go out and buy those breast that feed the baby. I think that they are called strap-ons.
