Would you breastfeed your husband or boyfriend if it makes your relationship stronger? Well, this is the case of a 30-year-old woman who thinks it definitely works.
Rachel Bailey, 30, brought the internet to a standstill when she revealed that she breastfeeds her 30-year-old husband and that lactating the grown man has helped their relationship improve.
Bailey, a mother of three children, revealed that the first time her husband fed from her was during a cruise away from their children; she had just given birth and was still breastfeeding their youngest child. She reveals her breasts got sore, and the husband tried to reveal the pain by lactating. It actually worked, and he liked it.
"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," she said
"We were nervous about the idea of him breastfeeding from me, but as soon as we did it, we realized it was perfectly fine," she added.
"Alexander felt so much more energized when drinking my milk," said Rachel.
"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,"’ said Rachel.
She says she now produces less milk and can only feed her husband at night.
"I am sad that our breast feeding times have reduced now because I feel like it has taken away our routine of those blocks of quality time that we had together," said Rachel.
While she thinks the matter is taboo,' Rachel and Alexander don't see why they should be embarrassed.
