Fun Fathers' Day Fact

(via Medgadget) Here's a little-known fact about fatherhood.
FatherWorld, published by Fathers Direct, the UK national information centre on fatherhood, details a worldwide increase in active fathering. It names as "Best Dads in the World" the Aka Pygmies, a hunter-gatherer tribe from northern Congo, in central Africa. When the mother is not available, the father calms his baby by giving him a nipple to suck.
I understand that 37 states have enacted laws related to breastfeeding, but none seem to address breast sucking. If the idea catches on, there might be a need for additional legislation.
