# Male Chest-Feeding-Enabling Kits Marie-Claire Springham's Hormone Kit Allows Dads to Feed Kids By Kalin Ned | Published 2019-03-22 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hormone-kit References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2019/03/19/marie-claire-springham-chest-feed-hormone-kit/) & [mcspringham](https://www.mcspringham.com/) A new hormone kit developed by Marie-Claire Springham is designed to override nature. The Central Saint Martins product design graduate is prototyping the ability for fathers to lactate, chest-feed their babies and share the responsibility of young parents. An ambitious project, without a doubt, the project requires couples to attend a pre-natal course during their pregnancy. The hormone kit itself comes with a [breast pump](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naturalwave-double-electric-breast-pump) and a compression pump. Of course, Marie-Claire Springham also includes the mandatory hormones to [stimulate lactation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-feeding-room) in men. Still in its testing stages, the concept is intended to benefit both sexes — it will not only alleviate some of the "[pressure on new mums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/molly-baz1)" but will also "allow dads to build a better bond with their babies." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Male Chest-feeding-enabling Kits:** This trend explores the development of kits that enable men to lactate and chest-feed their babies, disrupting traditional gender roles in parenting. - **Shared Parental Responsibility:** This trend emphasizes the importance of promoting shared responsibility in parenting by allowing fathers to actively participate in feeding and bonding with their babies. - **Enhanced Bonding Between Fathers and Babies:** This trend focuses on the potential for male chest-feeding to deepen the emotional connection between fathers and their infants, providing a unique bonding experience. ### Where This Applies - **Parenting and Baby Care:** This industry could benefit from disruptive innovation opportunities through the development of hormone kits and related products that cater to the changing dynamics of modern parenthood. - **Healthcare and Medical Technology:** This industry has the potential to explore and develop hormone therapies and medical devices to support male chest-feeding, addressing the physiological aspects of this innovative concept. - **Education and Training:** This industry can seize disruptive innovation opportunities by offering pre-natal courses that educate couples on the benefits and techniques of male chest-feeding, breaking gender stereotypes and promoting inclusive parenting. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Humanized Baby Formulas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humanized-baby-formula.md) - [Dynamic Lactation Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mammaease.md) - [Anatomically Inspired Baby Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emulait.md) - [Tissue-Massaging Lactation Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/momcozy.md) - [Practical Dad-Friendly Hoodie Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dad-hoodies.md) - [Reimagined Comfort-Focused Breast Pumps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-pump.md) - [Breast Milk Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frida-breast-milk-ice-cream.md) - [Nursing-Friendly Coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nursing-friendly-coffee.md) - [Breastfeeding Booster Shields](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flow-nipple-shield.md)
