Bengtsson's milk race began with a bang in early September as he set about pumping his breasts on a three-hourly basis. The unorthodox sight of a young dad with a machine pressed to his nipples became part of daily life at Stockholm University, as the economics student endeavoured to do his bit for gender equality.
If men could breastfeed their babies, the argument went, then women could rejoin the workplace more quickly, safe in the knowledge that their newborns were receiving the proper nourishment from their proud dads. But ultimately, the experiment failed.
Bengtsson, who was unavailable for comment, was reportedly also pleased to finally be able to put his pump back on the shelf. All he got was sore breasts.
