The next segment (on paternity leave) was filmed in my house, though you don't see much.Jeremy Adam Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11733669114207985920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23363296.post-61604825240953809942009-03-14T17:17:00.000-07:002009-03-14T17:17:00.000-07:00I like your window!I like your window!blue milkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15341937205299573052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23363296.post-64142692117139408252009-02-28T21:43:00.000-08:002009-02-28T21:43:00.000-08:00It is possible, but very, very, very unlikely.

I've heard of stories (I've never actually tried to find out if this has been rigorously documented) of men who were isolated for extended periods with babies, started lactating, and were able to breastfeed (or is that chestfeed?) the babies. Since I'm not providing any evidence and don't of any offhand, this amounts to an internet rumor. When you think about it, however, it makes perfect sense that nature would build some redundancy into the system, for emergencies.Jeremy Adam Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11733669114207985920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23363296.post-28272772037763544032009-02-28T21:21:00.000-08:002009-02-28T21:21:00.000-08:00Okay.

I had this man tell me that a friend of his started lactating when his wife had their baby. Is that even possible?Variations On A Themehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05999890261136824148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23363296.post-72100553052909423272009-02-26T12:15:00.000-08:002009-02-26T12:15:00.000-08:00Oddly enough, i think they are shooting themselves...Oddly enough, i think they are shooting themselves in the foot with their defensive posture. <BR/><BR/>saying "there's nothing to be ashamed about" to the "beer-drinking, football-watching man-club" is like waving the white flag of whimpiness. <BR/><BR/>That club is interested in being proud and loud. And, in a way, I don't blame them.<BR/><BR/>Showing that crew how to be proud about being a different dad, by modeling it, is the way to go.Hunter Cuttinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11375491500024490502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23363296.post-5389531915018896712009-02-24T14:21:00.000-08:002009-02-24T14:21:00.000-08:00OK, the dude on the right looks like Bill Clinton....OK, the dude on the right looks like Bill Clinton.<BR/><BR/>I like the decor in the basement: a grenade, a dartboard, some JD on the bookshelf.

When we were developing the segment, there was definitely a clash of Texas and San Francisco sensibilities: I was like, "Hey, good news, your body adapts for caregiving!" and Clay responded, "Yeah, but some guys will feel emasculated by that." So we talked about ways to get this message across to the beer-drinking, football-watching man-club. My book is definitely aimed at people who are already comfortable with the idea of caregiving fatherhood; I see collaborations like this as a way to meet other people where they are.Jeremy Adam Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11733669114207985920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23363296.post-38772964192313954482009-02-23T11:15:00.000-08:002009-02-23T11:15:00.000-08:00Great show.

Nice whack on A-Rod. <BR/><BR/>Never seen their show before. <BR/><BR/>Despite their "manly" theme, there's a whiff of defensiveness in their tone that I think my boys would pick up on quicker than a Lincecum fastball.Hunter Cuttinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11375491500024490502noreply@blogger.com
