SISTER Wives star Meri Brown has admitted breastfeeding one of husband Kody’s other children.
The California-born mum-of-one 53, who terminated her marriage with Kody, 55, in 2023, told how her actions were “medically necessary” at the time.

Meri – Kody’s first wife who he married in 1990 and with whom he shares child Leon – opened up on her gesture and said: “I actually breastfed one of our kids that was not my own child.”
She told the latest Sister Wives episode in a confessional: “That was something that was kind of medically necessary at the time, but it wasn’t something that we did on a regular basis just for fun, just for kicks and giggles.”
Kody’s final wife Robyn, 46, added: “Yeah, it’s true. It’s true.
“Women would breastfeed each other’s babies.”
She continued: “In our culture, I’ve seen it plenty of times.
“It’s not like musical babies. It’s more of, like, necessity and help and, you know, a community of women being supportive to each other about their children and stuff.”
Between his four wives, Kody has had 18 children and six grandchildren.
ALL CHANGE
Three out of TLC star Kody’s four marriages have now ended.
He recently told of an awkward run-in with his exes during a family wedding and said: “I don’t need another enemy.”
Meri and Kody – who were spiritually and legally married – divorced in 2014 for the sake of expanding their family, with Kody then marrying fourth wife, Robyn, in order to adopt her children.
But Meri remained in the family unit – alongside Robyn, second wife Janelle and third wife Christine – before breaking up with Kody properly in January 2023.
Both Christine and Janelle have also split from Kody, leaving him now with one wife Robyn.
He said: “I think if I were single and Meri was single, would I date her? No, I wouldn’t,” he admitted to the camera.
“She is upset that I’ve dragged this out so long. I don’t blame her.”
