Haraaaam .u should have some Sshame . U can't say that u love ur wife and do haram things . Even oral sex is haram .its the ijtehad of all the valued and knowledgble ulema .
Milk is for baby , for u there is cow,camel sheep etccc
Brother Nabdur,
Could your quote the Ijtihaad you mention? It is rather not Haraam. We should avoid speaking without knowledge. The Ulama agree that it is not haraam, as you can read below.

Br.Waseem,
Why do you allow these ignorant comments to be published ?
A man asked Mohammad (pbuh) whether he can drink his wife's milk. He replied "don't drink so much that your child is left Hungary"
Give the reference...
Akhi Nabeel, I deleted all your comments because they were harsh and did not contain substance. In the same way, every comment which is harsh and makes no sense is deleted by me and other Editors.
If you say that it is Haraam, then quote the statements of the Salaf as Saliheen and the scholars who follow them. I am no shaikh and I gave no Fatwa, but I quoted what the scholars said. If you quote them, I will accept, in sha Allah. I have quoted the Sahih Aathaar below. I suppose you haven't read them.
If you have 'Ilm, please do not hide it. Mention it with evidences, so that even we can learn.
Jazakallau Khair.
And which language is the word "pastan" from?

Assalamualaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
Brother, perhaps you may not be inclined to such things however we are not allowed to say this is haram or halal unless Allah and His Messenger of condemned or approved of such a thing.
"And do not say about what your tongues assert of untruth, "This is lawful and this is unlawful," to invent falsehood about Allah . Indeed, those who invent falsehood about Allah will not succeed."
From Surah Nahl ayah number 116
its not haraam, most of scolars says that a new born child within 2.5 year only become son through breast feeding & according to shafi mazhab its within 2 year.
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 3.815 Narrated by Aisha
Once the Prophet (saws) came to me while a man was in my house. He (saws) said, "O 'Aisha! Who is this (man)?" I replied, "My foster brother." He (saws) said, "O 'Aisha! Be sure about your foster brothers, as fostership is only valid if it takes place in the suckling period (before two years of age)."
Cow milk is for baby cow n camel milk for baby camel. You disagree sharing milk of someone who can give consent and say he should feel shameful because it's for "baby" just same as other animals milk is for baby. God bless.
Hadees reference??
Assalamualaikum,
A similar question was asked to a local Shaikh in my place. But his answer was not satisfactory. I decided to do further research and see what the elites among the Mashaaikh say.
The general principle of the Ahlus sunnah is that in matters of Deen, everything is haraam until there is evidence that it is halaal. And in matters of Dunya, everything is halaal until there is proof that it is haraam or disliked. But the confusion arises that milk builds a different relation altogether. Let us see if it is so here.
First, I will mention some Ahaadeeth in this regard:
“A man came to Ibn Mas’ood and said: ‘My wife was with me and her breasts were full of milk (she was engorged). I began to suck it and spit it out. Then I came to Abu Moosa.’ He (Ibn Mas’ood) said, ‘What did you tell him?’ So he (Abu Moosa) told him what he had told him. Then Ibn Mas’ood stood up, took the man’s hand (and said), ‘Do you think this is an infant? Breastfeeding is what produces the growth of flesh and blood.’ Abu Moosa said: ‘Do not ask me anything when this scholar is among you.’” (Reported by ‘Abd al-Razzaaq in al-Musannaf, 7/463, no. 13895).
In al-Muwatta’ (2/603), Maalik reported that Ibn ‘Umar said: “There is no breastfeeding except for the one who is breastfed in infancy; there is no breastfeeding for one who is grown up.”
Imam Maalik also reported in al-Muwatta’ that ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Dinar said: “A man came to ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar when I was with him in the court-house, asking him about breastfeeding one who is grown up. ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar said: ‘A man came to ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab and said, “I have a slave-girl with whom I used to have sexual relations, and my wife went to her and gave her her milk, then when I went to her, she said, ‘Stop, by Allaah I have given her my milk.’” ‘Umar said, “Punish her (your wife), and (continue to) go to your slave-girl, for (the ruling on) breastfeeding only applies to breastfeeding of infants.”’”
Ibn ‘Abbaas reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “What is forbidden by radaa’ (suckling or breastfeeding) is the same as what is forbidden by nasab (lineage).” (Agreed upon)
Allah Says:
“The mothers shall give suck to their children for two whole years, (that is) for those (parents) who desire to complete the term of suckling…” [al-Baqarah 2:233]
So beyond two years, there is no effect on relationship through suckling.
Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen was asked about this matter, and he replied: Breastfeeding a grown-up has no effect, because the breastfeeding which has an effect (of creating the relationship of mahram) is that which consists of five feedings or more within the first two years, before weaning. On this basis, if it happened that someone breastfed from his wife or drank her milk, he does not become her son. Fataawa Islamiyah, 3/338
Hence, the conclusion is that it is not Haraam per se.

I just realized the nature of the question posted by OP. I found this Hadih in Sahih Muslim that says thay breast feeding is only to overcome hunger. Though sucking of the breast is not wrong per the Ulama, the drinking of the milk should not be intentonal is what I understand. And this is something brother Nabdurr wanted to say in his last sentence. Allahu A'lam.
It was narrated that Masrûq said: ``ishah said: The Messenger of Allâh entered upon me and there was a man sitting in my house. He felt upset because of that and I saw signs of anger in his face. I said: ``O Messenger of Allâh, he is my brother through breastfeeding.'' He said: ``Consider who are your brothers through breastfeeding,(1) for breastfeeding is only through hunger.''

Will you please tell me, Is this Haram or Halal To drink wife breast milk...

I agree with you, my brother.
So why was the man asked to go back to the slave-girl (as it is mentioned he has sexual relationship with the slave-girl) when he is married to another woman.
Imam Maalik also reported in al-Muwatta’ that ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Dinar said: “A man came to ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar when I was with him in the court-house, asking him about breastfeeding one who is grown up. ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar said: ‘A man came to ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab and said, “I have a slave-girl with whom I used to have sexual relations, and my wife went to her and gave her her milk, then when I went to her, she said, ‘Stop, by Allaah I have given her my milk.’” ‘Umar said, “Punish her (your wife), and (continue to) go to your slave-girl, for (the ruling on) breastfeeding only applies to breastfeeding of infants.”’”

Lots of details listed here with ahadiths
I like the baby in the picture and his t-shirt especially. Good choice of picture.
Just a little interesting fact, extremely sick recovering heroin addicts are given breast milk ,when their bodies rejects all else,it's the only thing that there bodies can digest and keeps them alive,subanallah!
i want to stop breastfeeding to my 2 years old baby what should i do
. Brothers, it is neither haram nor halal, generally grown up people eat various food for body development. But infants have only one food that is breast milk. According to hadit mention above it is not good to drink wife brest milk for two years because child should feed brest milk atleast for two years acording to islam. After two years it may be allowed to drink if it does not affect to wife health

Title of Fatwa Sucking Wife’s Breasts
Topic Of Fatwa Sexual Relations Between Husband and Wife
Question of Fatwa As-Salamu `alaykum! Is sucking one’s wife’s breasts haram?
Does suckling one’s wife’s breasts make her as one’s mother
(i.e., becoming unlawful for him)?

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and
blessings be upon His Messenger.
Dear brother in Islam, thank you very much for having
confidence in us and we hope our efforts which are purely for
Allah’s sake, meet your expectations.
As for sucking one's wife breast, you should know that this issue
is controversial. Some scholars say that if a husband sucks his
wife’s breast several times in a way that he gets satisfied and
the milk reaches his stomach, his wife will be forbidden for
him. But, the majority of scholars view that the sucking that
makes a woman non-mahram to one is that which is given only
within the first two years of his life.
The well-known Muslim scholar, Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi,
states:
“During the life-time of the Prophet’s Companions (may Allah
be pleased with them all) it happened that one of the
Companions was making love with his wife, and in the course of
love-making he (the Companion) sucked her breasts to the
extent that some of the milk reached his stomach. Following
that, the Companion went to Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari (may Allah be
pleased with him) and asked him about the ruling. Replying the
man, Abu-Musa Al-Ash`ari said that the man’s wife had become
forbidden for him. (i.e., like his mother)
After that, the man went to ask `Abdullah Ibn Mas`ud (may
Allah be pleased with him) about the same ruling and Ibn
Mas`ud stated that there was nothing wrong with what
happened. Ibn Mas`ud backed his argument by citing the
Prophetic hadith, which clearly states that suckling is confined
only to the two earlier years of a child. Ibn Mas`ud cited this
Qur’anic verse: 'Mothers shall suckle their children for two
AL-ISLAM FATWA BANK - (Marital issues)

whole years; (that is) for those who wish to complete the
suckling…' (Al-Baqarah:233)
The apparent meaning of the aforementioned verse is that the
suckling, which may act as a cause of prohibition, is confined to
the suckling during the first two years. After the elapse of the
first two years, suckling is no longer a cause of prohibition.
Hearing the above argument, Abu-Musa Al-Ash`ari (may Allah
be pleased with him) said: 'Do not ask me while this erudite
scholar is there to guide you.
In conclusion, sucking the wife's breast, as far as Islam is
concerned, does not render her unlawful for the husband."
Sheikh Ahmad Kutty, a senior lecturer and an Islamic scholar
at the Islamic Institute of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, adds:
"The wife's breast milk is intended for the baby, and not for the
husband to consume. Although the husband is allowed to suck
on it gently, he is not allowed to draw the milk in. According to
some scholars, if he were to do so it would endanger the
marriage relationship — if done five times. The Prophet (peace
and blessings be upon him) said, 'Avoid that which is doubtful',
for, 'thereby one keeps his honor and religion intact.'
It is, therefore, important for the husband to refrain from such
actions for we should do what is most pious and therefore
safest." (Source: http://www.muslims.ca)
May Allah guide you to the straight path and direct you to that
which pleases Him, Amen.
Allah Almighty knows best.
Dear thus is not haram but not halal. If women milk haram then it have not haram on babies after 2.5 year.
Al-Muwatta Hadith 30.4
Yahya related from Malik from Thawr ibn Zayd ad-Dili that Abdullah ibn Abbas (r.a.) said, "The milk which a child under two years old sucks, even if it is only one suck, makes the foster relatives ‘haram’ (sacred)."
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 3.815 Narrated by Aisha
Once the Prophet (saws) came to me while a man was in my house. He (saws) said, "O 'Aisha! Who is this (man)?" I replied, "My foster brother." He (saws) said, "O 'Aisha! Be sure about your foster brothers, as fostership is only valid if it takes place in the suckling period (before two years of age)."

Suckling wife milk is not Haram, as the only thing which creates the relation of Flesh is the suckling within the age of 2.
whereas, in Holy Quran it is stated " A men is allowed to enjoy every part of his wife except the Back"
"
It's not haram but try to avoid drinking milk cause it can help your wife plus you can play with her boobs like I don't do any of these dreadful stuff we just wanted a baby boy first it was girl than boy and we never got naked my wife wants me too but I am too shy
Sssas, leaving aside the issue of milk, normal foreplay with your wife (such as caressing her breasts) is not dreadful. In fact it is a necessary part of intimacy. Even the Prophet (sws) encouraged it. So get over your shyness and give your wife her rights.
Sayyiduna Jabir ibn Abd Allah (Allah be pleased with him) narrates: “I was in the company of the messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) in a battle……The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) said to me: “Did you marry?” I answered: “yes”. He said: “A virgin or a non-virgin?” I said: “A non-virgin”. The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) said: “Why not a virgin so that you may play with her and she can play with you?”… (Sahih al-Bukhari, no. 1991)
The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) also stated:
“Every game a person plays is futile except for archery, training one’s horse and playing with one’s wife”. (Sunan Tirmidhi, Musnad Ahmad, Sunan Ibn Majah).
Imam al-Daylami (Allah have mercy on him) records a narration on the authority of Anas ibn Malik (Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) is reported to have said: “One of you should not fulfil one’s (sexual) need from one’s wife like an animal, rather there should be between them foreplay of kissing and words.” (Musnad al-Firdaws Of al-Daylami, 2/55)
Imam Ibn al-Qayyim (Allah have mercy on him) reports in his famous “Tibb al-Nabawi” that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) forbade from engaging in sexual intercourse before foreplay. (See: al-Tibb al-Nabawi, 183, from Jabir ibn Abd Allah)

Hahahaha haram?
Milk is the best and there is nothing haram about.
You want to suck your milk from a cow that has been artificially inseminated, seeps puss from her over-producing udders, has her baby taken from her, suffers depression and so much more and claim this is not a sin against the animal? But sucking a woman’s breastfeeding full of milk is?
A woman’s milk tastes like melted ice cream and is not at all dirty like human waste so please don’t compare it.
Men aren’t stealing the baby’s milk as we make milk on demand and even up to 7 years after our baby has weaned.
There is nothing dirty, unhealthy or even remotely inappropriate in a husband sucking his wife’s milk, unless his wife is uncomfortable with it. Some women don’t like it as they get over touched or associate their breast only with feeding once the baby arrives and that is fine too. Sometimes it changes when the baby is older.
There is nothing to say a man cannot suck his wife’s milk.
It is allowed and is not haraam but you should avoid it because that's your child's lunch not yours. Suck on her breasts when she has no milk
