RCOG advises greater support for trans men chest-feeding babies

Draft guidelines aim to improve obstetric and gynaecological care for trans and gender-diverse people

Transgender men who choose to chest-feed" their babies should be offered a greater level of support, a royal college has advised in new draft guidelines.

The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) says trans men should be asked about their preferred manner of feeding before their baby is born and those who opt to chest-feed should be offered chest-feeding support in the same manner as for cis-women".
