THIS woman loves to breastfeed her husband as she says it forces them to spend quality time together.

Mum-of-three Rachel Bailey, 30, first breastfed her husband, Alexander, also 30, in 2017 and the couple haven't looked back since.

While it started as a way of Alexander helping out his wife when she was over-lactating while nursing their kids, the pair found it to be an amazing bonding experience that they believe has made their marriage stronger than ever.

However, Rachel has always made sure that her babies are fed first before Alexander finishes the remaining milk.

"When my middle child, Aria, now six, 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.

Rachel remember feeling in a lot of pain and scared about getting an infection, so the couple decided that Alexander would try drinking the milk to relieve her.

"We were nervous about the idea of him breastfeeding from me but as soon as we did it, we realised it was perfectly fine," she said.

"Alexander said that the milk was really different to how he expected it to taste, compared to the normal milk he is used to drinking.

"We realised there was nothing wrong with me breastfeeding him, and it would actually be good for him as it is so nutritious.

"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.

"He ended up loving the taste of my breast milk and even prefers it to cow's milk now.

The mum added: "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.

"I love breastfeeding him as it allows us to spend quality time together. It's definitely brought us closer as a couple."

When she fell pregnant again for the third time with her youngest child, Matthew, two, she'd begin over-lactating again and Alexander was on hand to gladly help her out.

She would breastfeed her husband at breakfast, lunch and dinner, but as she is now producing less milk, she is only breastfeeding him at night.

Rachel added: "It's funny because if I eat something spicy, it also gives Alexander gas too.

"Shortly after giving birth, when I was producing the most milk, Alexander was drinking my milk three to four times a day.

"Obviously the babies are always fed first before it's his turn.

"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. It was an instant relief when Alexander latched on, and it stopped me from being in pain.

"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.

"Nothing bad has come from it at all, so why should it be something that is hidden?

"I have just stepped away from nursing our youngest child as I am producing less milk, so he just feeds on my milk in the evenings now.

"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.

"It's such a nice experience and I am so glad we started doing it. We aren't embarrassed about it at all.

"Alexander felt so much more energised when he was drinking my milk and he said that he even felt in a state of medication while he was latched on.

"It was really special and brought us closer than ever before."
