Rachel Bailey and her husband Alexander were really disappointed when they had to stop the unique way they were bonding through breastfeeding.
Now, they’re thinking about having another baby to experience it again.
The couple, both in their thirties, are seriously considering adding to their family just so Rachel can breastfeed Alexander once more.
Rachel Bailey, 31, and Alexander, 30, previously made news when it was revealed that Rachel breastfed her husband using her own milk.
Now that their third child has grown too old for breastfeeding, Rachel has stopped producing milk.
This has led the couple to think about having another child.
They want to do this so that Alexander can participate in the breastfeeding experience again.
Rachel shared: “I was breastfeeding both my son and my husband, and then one day my son just wasn’t interested in my breast milk anymore.
“I kept feeding Alexander for about two more weeks, but then it seemed like my body realized my son didn’t need the milk anymore and it just stopped producing.
“We really mourned the loss of that bonding experience, and we even talked about having one more baby so we could experience it again.
“We soon realized, though, that having another baby just for that would be a big step and a lot of effort.
“So, we started looking for other ways to bond as a couple.”
After sharing her story about breastfeeding her husband once their baby boy was done feeding, Rachel mentioned she received a lot of unusual requests.
Rachel continued: “Every day, people ask me if they can buy my breast milk.
“I’ve also had requests from people wanting to meet up so I could breastfeed them.
“We received many requests from people wanting us to record ourselves breastfeeding, but we never considered it, even though the money could have been good.
“For us, it was never about anything sexual. We did it because it was a wonderful way for us to bond and share something very special as a couple.
“We don’t let it bother us at all. No one has ever been hateful or cruel to us in person; it’s only online that we face negativity.
“When people meet us in person, they are usually really nice and understanding, which matters most to us.”
Rachel admits she “really missed the breastfeeding moments” they shared, but fortunately, they have “found new ways to connect.”
