A bartender has revealed she's taken time off from work in order to enter an Adult Breastfeeding Relationship (ABR) with her boyfriend.
Jennifer Mulford, from Atlanta, currently "dry feeds" 36-year-old Brad Leeson every two hours in the hope that her body will soon start producing milk for him to drink.
Mulford, who has a 20-year-old daughter, wants to trick her body into thinking its nursing a baby again.
She became determined to find a partner to breastfeed after reading about ABRs online.
“When I read about the bond breastfeeding could create between two people, I was envious," she told The Sun.
Mulford searched dating sites, put messages on ABR forums and even put an advert on Craigslist in the hope of finding a suitable partner.
Eventually she mentioned ABR to Leeson, an old boyfriend from school.
After doing his own research on the topic, Lesson, who also has children from a previous relationship, said he was intrigued.
"At that moment I knew that I had a partner for life. We both wanted the same thing out of the relationship — a magical bond that only breastfeeding can achieve," Mulford said.
When Leeson isn't home, Mulford keeps up her regime by using a pump on her breasts to fool her body into thinking its feeding a baby.
The couple also set alarms throughout the night so that they'll wake up in time for scheduled dry feeds.
Although they're not ashamed of their new activity, for now the pair do not engage in nursing in public.
Mulford said: "I’ll never say never but I love the time we spend nursing alone. It’s our time away from the rest of the world and I look forward to every feed."
