Labour MP Rosie Duffield (pictured) mentioned: ‘Infants cannot be used as guinea pigs for another person’s life-style alternative.’ in response to the letter
‘When a person has not and can’t develop a child, why on earth are we pandering to this? Who does it profit? Not the youngsters. We would not do some other medical experiments on infants. Breast milk made by a child’s organic mom is tailored for that child.’
Ms Duffield additionally warned of the ‘ethics of untested chemical substances in youngsters’.
She added that the NHS Belief’s use of ‘human milk’ for milk from each moms and trans girls dangers erasing girls.
Within the letter, the Medical Director claims ‘there may be clear and overwhelming proof that human milk is the best meals for infants’, referring to each breast milk and the ‘induced lactation’ of organic males.
The Director goes on: ‘The proof which is on the market demonstrates that the milk is similar to that produced following the start of a child.’

Lottie Moore, the organisation’s Head of Equality and Identification, mentioned: ‘This letter is unbalanced and naive in its assertion that the secretions produced by a male on hormones can nourish an toddler in the best way a mom’s breast milk can.’
Ms Moore added: ‘A toddler’s welfare should at all times take priority over id politics and contested perception programs that aren’t evidence-based. The NHS shouldn’t be indulging on this nonsense. It’s compromising girls’s rights and youngster safeguarding.’
In explaining its insurance policies, the Belief cited a five-month scientific research in 2022 which measured ‘toddler milk testosterone concentrations’ and located ‘no observable toddler negative effects’ on infants of lactating transgender girls. However consultants rejected the claims and identified the general lack of scientific research on such negative effects. ‘There have been only a few publications and the overwhelming majority haven’t checked out what’s within the milk itself,’ one medical professional mentioned.
Certainly, a number of the campaigners’ considerations are over the security of the medicine given to males to provide the milk – medicine which may trigger coronary heart issues. Additionally they level out that the consequence produces little or no milk. There may be ‘barely sufficient for a single feed’ per day, the identical professional advised The Mail on Sunday.

In the meantime, the Belief has refused to disclose what number of births in its hospitals have been to trans girls, acknowledging solely that it’s a ‘very small quantity’.
Milli Hill, creator of The Optimistic Beginning Guide and Give Beginning Like a Feminist, mentioned: ‘Breastfeeding is just not concerning the expertise of the individual doing the feeding – it’s about nourishing and nurturing a child.
‘No new child must be used as a prop to affirm an grownup’s id as ‘feminine’, when clearly they don’t seem to be feminine. In the event that they have been really feminine, they’d not must take medicine to attempt to induce a tiny quantity of milk from their nipples. No male individual has ever been in a position to produce sufficient milk to completely feed a child and there are not any research into the long-term security of providing such a substance to a child.
‘There is no such thing as a motive for an grownup to do that to a child, and I might go as far as to explain it as abusive. For an NHS Belief to be supporting such an abuse is an absolute shame.’
A spokesman from College Hospitals Sussex NHS Basis Belief mentioned: ‘We stand by the details of the letter and the cited proof supporting them.’
