A 30-year-old American woman has shocked many after confessing that she has been breastfeeding her husband for the past 6 years.
In a viral video, Rachel Bailey confessed that she started breastfeeding her hubby Alexander back in 2017. She explained that it all started when they were on a cruise in 2017 at a time when she had forgotten to carry her breast pump. At the time she had given birth to their second-born child.
The young woman says that the overproduction of milk caused her much pain and her husband had to save the situation and since then they have never looked back.
In the video, the mother of three says that the act has also strengthened their bond as a couple.
“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.
"When my eldest child, Troy, now seven, was breastfeeding, I went away on a cruise with Alexander," she said.
"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," .
The pair was aware that what they were doing would upset many people, but they persisted.
"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,"
On the other hand, Alexander notes that ever since he’s been drinking his wife’s breastmilk he has gotten sick less and his skin has improved. He also says he prefers the taste of her breastmilk to that of cow’s milk.
Rachel added; “It allows us to spend quality time together. It’s definitely brought us closer as a couple,”.
The couple said the husband spends 5-10 minutes feeding on each breast a day.
The woman added that she used to breastfeed her hubby at least three times a day but now it has reduced to one because she is producing less milk.
