The phenomenon of male lactation in humans has become more common in recent years due to the use of medications that stimulate a human male's mammary glands. Though human males have nipples, it is not so often understood that they also have mammary glands. Ordinarily the mammary tissue is low in volume and cannot be noticed. Under the appropriate hormonal stimulus -- the hormonal stimulus that nature provides to human females when they become pregnant and give birth -- the mammary glands of human males can also produce milk. The volume of milk produced is low relative to that of a lactating female. ...more on Wikipedia about "Male lactation"
Pablum was a cereal for infants marketed by the Mead Johnson Corporation. Invented in 1930 by three Canadian pediatricians Frederick Tisdall, Theodore Drake, and Alan Brown, Pablum marked a breakthrough in nutritional science. Although it was not the first food designed and sold specifically for babies, it was more popular and successful than prior products in an era when infant malnutrition was still a major problem in industrialized countries. ...more on Wikipedia about "Pablum"
A supplemental nursing system (SNS) is used by breastfeeding mothers of newborns if they are having difficulty establishing their milk supply. The SNS consists of a container that can be filled with pumped breastmilk or infant formula and a capillary tube leading from the container to the mother's nipple. The tubing is usually attached with removable tape. When the newborn infant suckles on the breast, the infant is nourished both by fluid from the capillary tube and by the mother's breastmilk from the nipple. The mother's milk supply is stimulated by the infant suckling, and in most cases the use of the SNS can be discontinued in a few days or weeks when the mother's milk supply has risen to meet the infant's needs. Mothers usually obtain SNS supplies from a lactation consultant. ...more on Wikipedia about "Supplemental nursing system"
