In an attempt to support Rachel while she was over-lactating while breastfeeding their children, Alexander first started consuming her breastmilk.
“I went away on a cruise with Alexander when my middle child, Aria, who is now six years old, was nursing,” she recalled.
But I misplaced my breast pump, and for two days I had severe engorgement. We agreed that my husband would try drinking the milk to help me since
I was in so much agony and worried that I would become sick. “At first, we were apprehensive about him nursing from me, but after we gave it a try, we realized it was fine.”
“An instant relief when Alexander latched on,” according to Rachel. Furthermore, she said, “it has strengthened our bond, something we never would have had if we hadn’t started this.”
