Mum-of-three who breastfeeds her husband alongside their kids reveals she’s considering having a fourth baby so she can continue breastfeeding him
In order to resume breastfeeding, a Florida lady who gained notoriety for nursing her spouse has disclosed that they are thinking of having another child.
Since her body stopped producing milk a year ago, Rachel Bailey, 31, and her husband Alexander, 30, said they have “grieved” their “bonding experience.”
Alexander had to wean himself off of the milk as the couple’s three children had already done so.
The concept of him nursing from me made us uneasy since we felt it was strange, but once we tried it, we knew it was okay.
Following the births of their two younger children, the couple carried on the custom of Ms. Bailey nursing her husband at lunch, dinner, and morning.
After her supply ran out, they began feeding her every night. Alexander has not had a cold in over two years, according to Ms. Bailey, who claims that her milk is “so nutritious” that it left his complexion shining.
She remarked, “He even came to love the taste of my breast milk and now prefers it over cow’s milk.”
When her breasts stopped producing milk, she said they grieved the bonding experience they shared because of her breastfeeding him.
They even briefly considered growing their family to keep up the breastfeeding
We grieved that bonding experience that we shared, and we even spoke about having one more baby so that we could do it again,” Ms Bailey said.
“However, we realized that was a drastic action to take and a lot of work, so instead we began looking for other ways that we could bond as a couple.”
Instead, they now get up at 5 am each morning to catch up and meditate before getting on with the rest of their day.
“It was never a sexual thing for us. We did it because it was an amazing way for us to bond and share something special as a couple,” Ms Bailey said.
“We really miss the breastfeeding times that we shared, but we have found new ways to connect.”
