THE BAILEYS have become a viral sensation after sharing videos of wife, Rachel, breastfeeding her husband, Alexander. Their videos have riled up a lot of shocked people online and they’ve had no end of criticism for their behaviour, but they just shrug off the haters and are ‘milking’ the attention instead. The couple live in Florida with their 3 kids; Troy (7), Aria (6) and Matthew (2). It was when Rachel was breastfeeding Aria that Alexander got his first taste of her milk. The couple were on a cruise without the kids and Rachel forgot her breast pump so Alexander stepped up to relieve her pain and reduce the risk of her getting mastitis. Initially sceptical, Rachel told us “at the time I thought it was gross but it ended up being the best thing.” Alexander now feeds once a week, something he looks forward to as it's a form of meditation for him, as well as a bonding moment between man and wife. Alexander says it's also done wonders for his immune system, “I haven’t really got sick in 3 years.” The couple have created a prominent social media presence by openly and unapologetically sharing their antics online. Alexander has written a song called ‘Milk Float’ and they’ve co-written a book. Their breastfeeding content has attracted a plethora of negativity from people with comments like; “you are sick, weird, disturbing”. This doesn’t phase the Baileys and they plan on continuing their feeding sessions until Matthew is weaned off, which unfortunately for Alexander, is happening imminently…

00:00This is Rachel. She fell in love with Alex.
00:04Whilst most people only breastfeed their children,
00:07this couple do things a little differently.
00:10I originally started breastfeeding my husband Alex on a cruise years ago.
00:15I feel like it's helped my immune system.
00:17I haven't really got sick in the past.
00:19Three years.
00:22But not everyone believes these benefits are worth it.
00:26You are sick, we're disturbing.
00:28I don't know why they felt the need to publicise this in the media.
00:32Today, Alex's sister will be coming over to tell the couple what she really thinks.
00:37How did you feel when you saw us do it?
00:41Come on.
00:43I always wanted to breastfeed my children because I feel like breast milk is the best.
00:48And I love the bond that I have with all of my children.
00:53You want the rest of that?
00:55Let me get the rest of that right there.
00:57Let me get the rest.
00:58I originally started breastfeeding my husband Alex on a cruise years ago.
01:03I forgot my breast pump.
01:05And at the time, I was currently breastfeeding my daughter Aria.
01:09I mean, there was no other way of getting the release of milk that I needed.
01:13She gets engorged and she has extra milk, extra lactation.
01:18It was actually recommended by his family member.
01:21And at the time, I thought it was gross, but it ended up being the best thing
01:26that he practically saved my life, I'd like to say.
01:28Saved a life.
01:30I went home. There was no more milk.
01:31My daughter was weaned off.
01:33And then when my son was born, it started up again.
01:36So, you know, I take care of business the way that I did before.
01:41Babe, I'm full. I hope you're thirsty.
01:43Let's do this.
01:44The benefits that I feel like I've experienced is
01:47I feel like I got clearer skin.
01:50I feel like it's helped my immune system.
01:52I haven't really gotten sick in the past.
01:54Three years.
01:55I feel like it clears my mind, you know what I'm saying?
01:57More of like a meditation thing.
02:00Is it a fetish?
02:02It is not a fetish.
02:04A lot of people think it's a fetish, but it doesn't lead to anything sexual.
02:09He just likes my milk just how some people like, you know, cow's milk.
02:14He just likes my personal milk.
02:18Feel better?
02:19So right now we both are content creators and I'm a musician, so I make music.
02:26I made a song called Milk Flow.
02:32It was just me saying, we just doing us, you know what I mean?
02:35We was just dancing around.
02:38Can you send me a little bit of it?
02:40They see me getting litty lately.
02:41Oh yeah, they say they want the smoke, but yeah, let me demonstrate it.
02:44I'm Savion Tap dancing on a real hater.
02:46Oh, they really see me now.
02:48Yeah, they see me later.
02:49Steve Harvey know the vibes.
02:50Yeah, they're really on my...
02:51Ah, man, I messed up.
02:56We decided to share that we breastfeed online.
03:04I mean, it wasn't really a thought.
03:05I was already doing YouTube and documenting my everyday life.
03:09So sharing it didn't feel any different.
03:12Obviously, we got a lot of attention for it.
03:14It just comes with the nature of telling your story.
03:18So I feel like that's positive.
03:20People speak and troll and hate on us about it, but that just is what it is.
03:24It's a part of the game.
03:25So you are sick.
03:27We're disturbing.
03:32Too comfortable online.
03:34I don't know why they felt the need to publicize this in the media.
03:43Seems like a sort of foreplay to me.
03:46Breastfeeding a grown man.
03:47Disgusting.
03:48Where was her child that she's supposed to feed?
03:51Which, that's another common one, and it's he feeds first.
03:55Obviously.
03:56This one's one of my favorites, too.
03:58Sick.
04:00And we got a good one.
04:01Here's a good one.
04:03And that's crazy.
04:04This one got the most likes.
04:05I bet his immune system is untouchable.
04:08I agree.
04:13Guys, do you like drawing more or coloring more?
04:16Oh, coloring more.
04:17We have three children.
04:19Our oldest, Troy, is seven.
04:21Our middle daughter is Aria.
04:23She's six.
04:24Draw something else?
04:25Maybe draw a heart.
04:27And then we have our youngest, Matthew, who's two.
04:29Who's better at coloring, mom or dad?
04:33This one.
04:34Mommy?
04:37What else would you like to draw?
04:39That's it.
04:46I do not breastfeed in front of my children.
04:48I think it's just between me and my husband.
04:50So it's something that we keep private.
04:52All right, guys.
04:53We're going to do one snack, OK?
04:54So cookies, Cheetos, or Doritos.
04:56Which one?
04:58Who asked for Cheetos?
05:00Troy, did you ask for the Cheetos?
05:01Yeah.
05:01All right, go ahead.
05:02OK.
05:02Do you think that this could impact your kids in the future
05:05if they see it online?
05:08I don't believe it would impact them in the future.
05:11If this is going to impact them on their future,
05:13I believe it would be in a very positive way.
05:15They're going to learn from it, and they're
05:17going to know the situation.
05:19Hi, guys.
05:20How are you doing?
05:21What's going on?
05:24My sister's name is Ziki.
05:26She's a prominent businesswoman, has her food truck business.
05:33And she's going to cook us some meals off of her food truck.
05:36I hope y'all didn't eat yet.
05:38No, we're ready.
05:39When she first heard about me and Rachel
05:42doing this breastfeeding stuff, it
05:43was one of those things that she didn't understand.
05:46She's not super against it, but she's against it.
05:50When you guys told me about the breastfeeding thing,
05:53it's just, you almost wonder, am I related to Alexander?
05:58How did you feel when you saw us do it?
06:02I felt disgusted.
06:05Oh, my god.
06:06Alexander's my brother.
06:10And I still feel disgusted.
06:11So I appreciate if you do not do it around me.
06:16I still love y'all.
06:17I'm not knocking it.
06:19It's just not for me.
06:20Could you have imagined ever breastfeeding your partner?
06:26I've never considered feeding my husband on my breasts,
06:30and I will never consider that.
06:33And if my partner came to me and say, hey, you know what?
06:38Your brother's doing it, yaddy, yaddy, yaddy.
06:40I'm going to tell him, go find Rachel.
06:44All right, so Monique, how do you feel?
06:47As you say, don't knock it till you try it.
06:49It's your thing.
06:50I personally wouldn't do it, but, you know?
06:54Understandable.
06:55Sometimes I'm scared for y'all, right?
06:57When I see people just be nasty in the comments,
07:01but I know that you guys are built for it, right?
07:03So we've been doing this forever.
07:05Content creators, we milk every situation.
07:08So you put it on cereal?
07:09I haven't put it on cereal yet.
07:11You know, I have a little bit different view,
07:13but still, it doesn't make me love you less, right?
07:16You guys are amazing to each his own,
07:21but I think what you're putting out there is a lot.
07:25A lot, a little bit too much, and...
07:29Well, we always have fun.
07:30We always come together as one, and there we go.
07:35So I love that we're a close family,
07:37even if we have different viewpoints and different opinions.
07:42All right, so are you guys ready?
07:44I'm ready. I've been ready.
07:45Crab aioli.
07:46Amazing.
07:47I have got truffle chicken.
07:50Sweet.
07:51I hope it doesn't interfere with your stomach.
07:53You may have to get some breast milk when you're done, right?
08:01You go, Matthew.
08:03Matthew is getting winged off the breast milk.
08:06Breastfeeding's stopping soon.
08:08The way I feel about it is, it's like a bittersweet moment.
08:11Okay, well, Alexander, you gotta reminisce on the milk,
08:16because soon it'll be gone.
08:17It's gonna be dry.
08:18I'm gonna be sad.
08:19It'll be dry.
08:20I'm gonna be so sad.
08:22Then maybe you can do almond milk, right?
08:23Maybe that'll work.
08:24Yeah, yeah.
08:24Oh, come on.
08:27We'll probably go ahead with almond milk.
08:39Okay.
08:39Okay.
