A 28-year-old woman has revealed how she dresses like a baby and even uses dummies and nappies.
Lucy Anne, from New Jersey, US, first realised her desire to revert back to infancy at the age of nine but only began acting like a baby aged 26.
The cyber-security analyst spends her time at home lounging around in nappies, onesies and dummies while also selling pictures of herself dressed as a baby online.
Despite this, Lucy claims she does not dress up as a baby for sexual reasons, but for comfort and acceptance after years of resenting how she felt.
She said: “These feelings and desire to revert to a baby-like state started when I was really young.
“I didn’t understand them at the time and I grew up hating how I felt.
“As a teen, I experimented by wearing diapers and started to explore the ‘adult baby diaper lover’ (ABDL) community after thinking about it for over ten years."
Lucy said she became involved with the ABDL community with an ex-partner, who was also part of it, and has since worn onesies and nappies to relax at home.
She added: “I opened an Instagram to share my images because I feel cute and will sometimes get direct messages where people will ask me for specific photos or will just send me money because they like my content.
“I’ve made £370 from commissions but I’ve probably made more from people who have sent me money to buy new stuffed animals, pacifiers or diapers.
“I actually have one contributor who actually sends me £115 of adult diapers each month.”
Lucy’s acting age range is between three and five years old and she tries to immerse herself in the experience as much as possible.
She said: “I really want the experience of being a baby to be as realistic as possible and knew I couldn’t just do that with a diaper.
“I use the diapers for the reason they are intended for and find that it actually helps me sleep through the night without being disturbed by weak bladder issues.
“I sometimes will wear a diaper to work, hidden under everyday work clothes.
“I have a collection of pacifiers, pyjama onesies that have a flap on the bottom for easy access and lots of cute fleece blankets.
“Stuffed toys also make up a big part of my baby collection, and I also have a few cat ears to match."
Due to her interests and desire to revert back to a baby, Lucy often gets requests she is uncomfortable with as well as struggling to reveal her lifestyle to some family members and friends.
She said: “As I’ve never seen this as a sexual thing, when I get sexual requests, I am quite uncomfortable and will always try and ignore it.
“One of the grossest requests asked if I could dry hump one of my stuffed animals on a video call, so they were blocked immediately.
“When my mum found out, it took her a while to understand it, but she came around when she realised I was doing it in private and not causing any harm.
“A few of my friends think it’s a bit weird but know that it’s just a part of who I am.
“I’ve always wanted to reveal myself to my dad and other family members, but I’m not sure they’d understand.”
