Commissioner for Gender Affairs Enugu State, Hon. Peace Nnaji, want women to stop 'breastfeeding' their husbands and reserve the breast milk for their babies instead.
The Commissioner made the remark at a
UNICEF media dialogue with selected journalists from Southeast, South-South,
and parts of North Central.
She explained that it is wrong for men
to be sharing their wives' breast milk with the babies while insisting that
breast milk is naturally meant for “the baby and not the man”.
In her words;” Breast milk is meant for
babies and not their fathers. Mothers should stop feeding their husbands with
their breast milk, it’s for their babies.
” It’s wrong for mothers not to
breastfeed their babies for fear of having flat or saggy breast.”
The Commissioner also urged mothers to practice exclusive breastfeeding of their babies for at least the first six months after birth because of it has numerous benefits.
