Rachel Bailey, 32, used to breastfeed her husband Alexander, 32, as a way to ‘bond’
According to Rachel, it ‘created a more special bond between us which we never would have had if we didn’t start this‘. Now, though, both Rachel and Alexander seem to feel differently about the practice, having stopped since 2023 after their youngest child was weaned.
Rachel Bailey, 32, and her husband Alexander, also 32, filmed a new vlog that showed them sitting down to watch an episode of My Strange Addiction, in which they revealed their ununsual practice to the world.
She started breastfeeding her husband in 2016, when they went on a cruise holiday away from their children, who she was still nursing.
But Rachel had forgotten her breast pump, which left her ‘badly engorged’ and ‘in so much pain’.
In an effort to help relieve her pain, Alexander drank milk from her breasts. According to Rachel, it ‘created a more special bond between us which we never would have had if we didn’t start this’.
Now, though, both Rachel and Alexander seem to feel differently about the practice, having stopped since 2023 after their youngest child was weaned.
In their recent vlog, the pair get ready to watch the episode, which Rachel had seen parts of but Alexander had never watched because he ‘never cared to’.
‘This actually would be my first time [legitimately] watching it… I may not be able to get through it,’ he admitted at the start of the YouTube vlog.
The pair got comfortable on their sofa and start watching the episode of My Strange Addiction.
Before they got to their own story, though, the pair briefly watched the story of a man whose ‘addiction’ was to eating raw chicken.
‘His episode seems a little crazier than our episode,’ Rachel said. ‘And yet, our episode was the craziest.’
