.mrs b asks:

Shalom,

Thanks for taking your precious time to read my question.

Is it permitted by Jewish law for a woman to breastfeed her husband?

.mrs b, Montréal qc

The Kollel replies:

The Gemara concludes that only a child may nurse directly from a woman's breast, and the age limit is until 4 or 5 (depending on the child's nature), but no later. This is in order to maintain a proper mode of modest conduct. This is also the Halachic conclusion in the Shulchan Aruch (Yoreh Deah 81:7). So, in practice, a husband may not nurse from his wife. However, he may drink her milk from a container after it has been expressed from her breast.
