An Atlanta woman, Jennifer Mulford, has taken time off from her bartending job to breastfeed her boyfriend, Brad Leeson, every two hours to create “a magical bond that only breastfeeding can achieve.” This practice is known as an adult breastfeeding relationship (ABR).
Mulford discovered ABR online and was intrigued by the idea of the bond it could create. “When I read about the bond breastfeeding could create between two people, I was envious,” she told the Sun. “I have always enjoyed my breasts being touched during sex more than anything else, so I knew I would enjoy it.”
Initially, she struggled to find a partner interested in ABR through personal ads and dating sites. However, Mulford reconnected with Leeson, an ex-boyfriend from her school days, who expressed an interest in big-breasted women. When she introduced the idea of adult breastfeeding, Leeson quickly became interested and began researching ABR himself. “It was like a light switch flicked in [Leeson’s] head,” Mulford said. “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, who last breastfed 20 years ago, now uses pumping and dry feeding to stimulate milk production. According to the Sun, ABR is part of a growing trend where men report feeling calmed and soothed by breastfeeding, promoting bonding in the relationship.
