What the couple describes as a happy accident, mum-of-three Rachel Bailey, 30, first began breastfeeding her husband Alexander, 30, after she began over-lactating following the birth of their second child.
With Alexander claiming the act saves his wife from pain, the couple's unconventional antics began back in 2017 whilst on a couple's cruise.
Now rising to internet stardom, the pair describe themselves as "boundary pushers" on their YouTube channel, adding they "don't conform to what everybody expects".
With Alexander claiming he prefers the taste of his wife's breast milk to conventional cow’s milk, he adds that the extra nutrition the milk offers has done wonders for his health.
"I didn't bring my pump on the cruise," explains Rachel of her husband's starting point, adding: "I was engorged for three days out of a seven day trip.
"Day three - I couldn't take it anymore," she explains. "What did I do?"
