Why did the ancient Chinese like to invite wet nurses, but now there are very few? The reason behind this is simple.
Chinese culture has lasted for more than 5,000 years, of which many cultural essences have been passed down to the present day, so that modern people can apply what they have learned, and there are also many bad habits of the feudal era at that time, which have been abandoned and disappeared in the long river of history, some because in today's society, those habits are not allowed to exist, and some are no longer needed in today's society.
This kind of behavior is the ancient behavior of asking a nurse, first of all, why did people in ancient times go to the nurse? Why this behavior of the nurse has been abandoned now, please follow each other's footsteps to understand and understand, please continue to look down.
First of all, why will there be a nursing mother industry, we all know that the identity status of ancient women is very low, you can say that it is completely a tool for reproduction, and the ancient people attach great importance to their children, some large families of imperial relatives, always at the age of thirteen or fourteen, they become relatives and breed offspring, at the age of thirteen or fourteen, the female body is not yet fully mature, there is not much milk to breastfeed their children, and there is no good experience, so they will ask professional nursing mothers.
The second is the psychology of those women in ancient times, to know that ancient men are always three wives and four concubines, left and right, get the favor of their own men in favor, you have not given birth to a son and a half daughter for it, a big reason is that your appearance and figure can always be maintained, if you insist on breastfeeding, then you need a lot of nutrition, there is breast milk can feed your children, that excessive nutrition, it is likely to cause your figure to gain weight, even if you give birth to a son, Then your own man is also likely to only pay attention to your children, not to you who are blessed.
The third is related to men, ancient people have long known that women's breast milk is rich in extremely high nutrition, so while inviting a nursing mother, you can let your own children be fed, men in the family will also eat breast milk, and even women in the family will eat breast milk, which has the effect of maintaining the appearance.
Therefore, the ancient large families, the relatives of the emperor and the state would be so keen to ask the nurse to feed their children. Now that everyone is equal and the status of women is improving, no one is engaged in the industry of nursing mothers, in large part because the rise of milk powder has reduced the burden of breastfeeding for mothers, so most people today feed their children with milk powder.
Here I advocate that if you can breastfeed, try to breastfeed, because mother's breast milk is the best nutrition in the world.
