A study that was conducted in 2020 by the Kyambogo University in Kampala and Britain’s University of Kent, by Dr. Rowena Merritt and Dr. Peter Rukundo, revealed that many people believed that breastmilk can cure diseases like HIV.
The study aided by Global Challenges Research Fund suggested that men were breastfed once a day before the baby is fed.
Women according to the findings were not asked if they want to feed their partners; the partner simply initiates it and interprets silence as agreement.
The men sampled in this research said that they breastfeed to get relief from stress while it energised others.
When asked if he was concerned that the mother would become exhausted or that the infant would not receive the milk it deserved, one man replied, “If you feed a cow well, they produce a lot of milk. I take good care of my wife."
Kenyan, Tanzanian, and Ugandan men have previously been mentioned as those with this habit.
