Hi mochaccino,
You do have a point there: I am strangely sensitive to prolactin. When my ex was in her first pregnancy, I bought a book about fathering. The book was only about one thing: If I would just team up with her during the pregnancy, fathering would come naturally. I did, and when she started breast feeding, I felt I wanted to do that too. There is research showing that men's hormone levels change by being around their pregnant wives a lot, and by living the pregnancy with them. One change is increased prolactin. I have no idea how this works, but apparently, the system must be triggered somehow.
