Mom Of Three Details How Breastfeeding Her Partner Enhanced Their Relationship And Wellness

Rachel Bailey, a 30-year-old woman from the United States, has shared her unconventional practice of breastfeeding her husband, Alexander. According to Bailey, this unique approach has not only brought them closer but also improved Alexander’s health.

The couple began this practice in 2017 and have continued ever since. Initially, Alexander started drinking Rachel’s breast milk as a remedy during a period when she was over-lactating while nursing their children.

Bailey and her husband emphasize that this is not a fetish for them and they are not embarrassed by it, as they have experienced no negative effects. “It’s a bit of a taboo subject, but we wanted to share our experience because we don’t think it’s harmful and we’re not ashamed,” Bailey explained.

Rachel recalled a particular instance when she was on a cruise with Alexander while their middle child, Aria, now six, was breastfeeding. Without her breast pump, she became severely engorged and feared an infection. As a solution, Alexander began drinking her milk to relieve her discomfort.

“Initially, we were apprehensive about the idea, but as soon as we tried it, we realized it was perfectly fine,” Bailey said. She described the relief she felt when Alexander latched on as “instant” and noted that it has also deepened their bond in a way they hadn’t anticipated.

During the period when Rachel was producing the most milk shortly after giving birth, Alexander was consuming it three to four times a day.
