This is the second time I have seen Jerry mention this. I sincerely wish 
someone could provide me with more information about this. 
My fiancee and I have both tried to find out more about this from the La
Leche League with NO luck whatsoever. They wouldn't even talk to me. The
local rep told my fiancee she'd never heard of such a thing (and sounded 
a bit repulsed by the idea). A letter to the national headquarters brought 
only a copy of an article which described male lactation as associated with 
sever cases of starvation or some such thing. They basically denied any 
knowledge of this being feasible.
