EditorA Florida woman who made headlines for breastfeeding her husband has revealed that they are considering having another baby so she starts lactating again.
Rachel Bailey, 31, and her husband Alexander, 30, said they have “grieved” their “bonding experience” since her body stopped producing milk in the past year.
The couple’s three children have all weaned off the milk, which meant Alexander had to as well.
Now, they are considering having a fourth child so they keep up the habit.

“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,” she said.

“We were nervous about the idea of him breastfeeding from me as we thought it seemed weird, but as soon as we did it, we realized it was perfectly fine.”
The couple continued the practice after the births of their two younger children, with Ms Bailey breastfeeding her husband at breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Once her supply dwindled, they switched to nightly feedings. Ms Bailey claims that because her milk is “so nutritious,” it kept Alexander from getting a cold for more than two years and left his skin glowing.
“He ended up loving the taste of my breast milk and even prefers it to cow’s milk now,” she said.
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.”
