A woman from the United States, Rachel Bailey, 30, has revealed that she breastfeeds her husband.
According to Bailey, the practice has made them closer and also improved her husband, Alexander, health.
The couple started the act in 2017 and have not look back since then.
According to Daily Mail, Bailey’s husband initially began drinking Rachel’s breastmilk to help her when she was over-lactating while nursing their children.
The couple insist that it’s ‘not a kink for them’ and that they aren’t embarrassed by it because ‘nothing bad has come from it all’.
Bailey said, “It’s a bit of a taboo subject, but we wanted to share it because we don’t think it’s bad and we aren’t ashamed.
“When my middle child, Aria, now six, 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 but as soon as we did it, we realized it was perfectly fine.”
Rachel said it was ‘an instant relief when Alexander latched on’.
“On top of that, it has also created a more special bond between us which we never would have had if we didn’t start this,” she added.
When she was producing the most milk shortly after giving birth, he was drinking her milk ‘three to four times a day’.
