Mum of three Rachel Bailey, 31, worked out that her husband, Alexander, 30, was into her breastmilk, early into motherhood.
He enjoyed it to the extent that when their youngest stopped nursing, they considered having another baby so Alexander could continue to breastfeed directly from her.
Ultimately, they chose not to; but their candid and very public story has captured attention worldwide.
“I was breastfeeding both my son and my husband, and then one day my son was just no longer interested in my breast milk at all,” Rachel told Caters News per The New York Post.
“I continued feeding Alexander for about two weeks, but it was like my body knew that my son no longer needed the milk and it was all gone.”
“A drastic action to take”
Rachel continued: “We realized that was 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, she and Alexander began to make videos for social media, and even wrote a book about their experience called Milkn’ It.
The book’s description explains: “Amidst the stories of triumphs, failures, laughs, and tears, is an unconventional love story that blossomed between two souls, leading them to find solace and strength in each other — and occasionally, in a sip of breast milk.
“Despite being thrust into the glaring eye of virality for their unique choices, they remained unshaken, solid in their love, and ever-ready to milk every ounce of experience life thrust their way.”
“Will we do a breastfeeding OnlyFans?”
The couple have also addressed whether they will start an OnlyFans account of them performing the intimate act; and it’s a solid no, despite popular demand for it.
That’s right -ever since Rachel first shared that she breastfeeds her husband after feeding her baby, she has received some curveball requests.
“I still have people asking me every day if they can buy my breastmilk. I have even had people asking if they can meet up with me so that I can breastfeed them too,” she said.
“We had lots of requests from people asking us to make videos of ourselves breastfeeding, but we never considered it – although I’m sure the money would have been nice.”
