The first female transgender person in the world to breastfeed

A female in Asia was able to breastfeed her baby for 6 consecutive weeks using a hormone.

According to TransgenderHealth, the 30-year-old man started injecting female hormones since 2011 to become a woman. Up to now, she has never experienced any sex techniques such as breast augmentation or vaginal imaging.

The transgender girl said her partner was pregnant but did not want to breastfeed. So she hopes she can take on the role of motherhood. The person then took 10 milligrams of domperidone three times a day and used a breast pump to pump milk before the baby was born.

After a week of using domperidone, the transgender girl could secrete a few drops of the first milk. After three months of hormone therapy, she was able to produce nearly 240ml of milk every day. Two weeks later, when the baby was born, transgender women were able to start feeding their babies with breast milk for 6 consecutive weeks. The baby develops completely normal and healthy.

In fact, men who produce milk are not impossible. For example, cases of prostate cancer, people who have undergone hormone therapy can produce milk. However, in 2004, the US Food and Drug Administration warned of domperidone distribution due to many health risks. Experts admit that more research is needed to find the optimal method for transgender women to produce milk and breastfeed.
