It definitely brought us closer as a couple – Woman explains why she breastfeeds her husband

A woman who frequently breastfeeds her husband claims that this practice has strengthened their marriage.

Rachel Bailey, aged 30, initiated breastfeeding her spouse, Alexander, also 30, in 2016. She initially described it as an unusual experience but now asserts that it is entirely acceptable. Rachel emphasizes that this is not a fetish or unusual interest.

As a mother of three, Rachel discovered that she was producing more breast milk than required while nursing their children, prompting Alexander to offer his assistance.

She recalled: “When my eldest child, Troy, now seven, was breastfeeding, I went away on a cruise with Alexander.

“However, I forgot my breast pump and was badly engorged for two days. I was in so much pain and I was scared about getting an infection, so we decided that my husband was going to try drinking the milk to relieve me.

“We were nervous about the idea of him breastfeeding from me as we thought it seemed weird, but as soon as we did it, we realised it was perfectly fine.

“Alexander said that the milk was really different to how he expected it to taste, compared to the normal milk he was used to drinking.”

“We realised there was nothing wrong with me breastfeeding him, and it would actually be good for him as it is so nutritious.

“He didn’t get a cold for two years after he started drinking my milk and so many people said his skin was so much better too.

“He ended up loving the taste of my breast milk and even prefers it to cow’s milk now.

“It’s not a kink for us. It started as Alexander just helping me out when I was in pain, but it turned into more of an emotional bonding thing.

“I love breastfeeding him as it allows us to spend quality time together. It’s definitely brought us closer as a couple.”
