A major report published by Fathers Direct for Fathers Day named Aka Pygmies as the “Best Dads In The World”.

Apparently the Aka Pygmy men spend more of their time infant care giving than the males of any other society. They even go as far as offering their nipple to a crying baby to soothe it until their mother is ready to breastfeed.

The Pygmy men are also the ones who get up and settle the baby at night and spend a couple of hours at a time holding the baby close to their body during the day.

What I wouldn’t give to be a Aka Pygmy women! They seem to have it easy.

I am very lucky to have a husband who takes pride in being a very active father, but I think that even he would draw the line at breast feeding the baby. And as for night feeds, I should be so lucky!
