The secret to a happy relationship? Breastfeeding, apparently.<\/p>\n

Mum-of-three Rachel Bailey, 30, started breastfeeding her husband Alexander, also 30, in 2017, when she found herself over-lactating following the birth of her second child.<\/p>\n

\u2018When my middle child, Aria, now six, was breastfeeding, I went away on a cruise with Alexander,\u2019 Rachel recalled.<\/p>\n

\u2018However, I forgot my breast pump and was badly engorged for two days.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018I 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.<\/p>\n

\u2018We were nervous about the idea of him breastfeeding from me but as soon as we did it, we realised it was perfectly fine.\u2019<\/p>\n

Turns out, Alexander actually liked the taste of his wife\u2019s breast milk \u2013 even preferring it to cow\u2019s milk now \u2013 and reaped all the benefits of the extra nutrition.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018Alexander felt so much more energised when he was drinking my milk,\u2019 said Rachel.<\/p>\n

\u2018He didn\u2019t get a cold for two years after he started drinking my milk and so many people said his skin was so much better too,\u2019 said Rachel.<\/p>\n

After she gave birth to her third child, Rachel \u2013 who was over-lactating again \u2013 breastfed her husband at breakfast, lunch and dinner. <\/p>\n

Now that she\u2019s producing less milk, she\u2019s only able to feed Alexander at night.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Of course, Rachel always makes sure her three children are fed before her husband, but it actually became a genuine bonding experience for the married couple.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2018I 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,\u2019 said Rachel.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s not a kink for us,\u2019 she added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018It started as Alexander just helping me out when I was in pain, but it turned into more of an emotional bonding thing.<\/p>\n

\u2018I love breastfeeding him as it allows us to spend quality time together.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s definitely brought us closer as a couple.\u2019<\/p>\n

While she admits the subject is a \u2018a bit taboo,\u2019 Rachel and Alexander don\u2019t see why they should be ashamed.<\/p>\n

\u2018It was an instant relief when Alexander latched on, and it stopped me from being in pain,\u2019 Rachel said.<\/p>\n

\u2018On top of that, it has also created a more special bond between us which we never would have had if we didn\u2019t start this.<\/p>\n

\u2018Nothing bad has come from it at all, so why should it be something that is hidden?\u2019<\/p>\n
