A woman has garnered significant attention by revealing an unconventional approach to maintaining marital bliss: nursing her spouse. This distinctive revelation thrust the couple into the spotlight on the internet, proudly declaring themselves as “boundary pushers” on their YouTube channel and firmly rejecting conformity to societal norms.
Initiating this unusual practice at the age of 30, Rachel Bailey, a mother of three, and her husband, Alexander, also 30, embarked on this extraordinary journey in 2017. The catalyst for this unconventional choice was Rachel’s surplus lactation after the birth of their second child.
The genesis of this unique practice unfolded during a cruise vacation shortly after the birth of their second child. A regrettable oversight, Rachel’s forgotten breast pump, led to severe engorgement, causing discomfort and concerns about potential infections. In a moment of desperation, the couple explored the option of Alexander nursing from Rachel. Despite initial reservations, they discovered that it was a viable and mutually agreeable solution.
Unexpectedly, Alexander developed a preference for the taste of his wife’s breast milk, even favoring it over conventional cow’s milk. Rachel observed heightened energy levels in Alexander, who remained free from colds for two years. Many people also commented on the positive impact it had on his skin.
With the arrival of their third child, Rachel found herself overproducing milk once again, leading to her husband nursing at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. However, with her milk production subsequently decreasing, she now exclusively breastfeeds him at night. Rachel expressed her commitment to allowing her children to decide naturally when they are ready to discontinue breastfeeding.
For Rachel, nursing her husband has transcended mere preference; it has become a necessity in their relationship, solidifying their unique bond.
