China has a history and culture of 5,000 years, including more than 2,000 years of feudal period, during which countless dynasties were born, and with the continuous development and change of the times, China is also growing stronger and stronger.
Then again, in fact, each dynasty has different cultures and customs, although there are many places that are slightly different, but whether it is ancient or modern, people have a common view, that is, the emphasis on the eugenics of their children.
Mothers are a great identity, they take good care of their children, they give silently to the family, every mother loves her children, and they want to give what they think is best to their children.
Each child is born with the breast milk of his own mother, little by little, and the way children are fed differently in ancient and modern times.
Today's lives are very different from the past, even if there is no breast milk, there are many foods that can replace breast milk to feed their children, such as milk powder, but in order to ensure that their children can grow up healthy and strong, most mothers are still willing to breastfeed their children.
When it comes to the ancient way of feeding children, it is necessary to see what the royal nobles were like, because the children they gave birth to were different from the feeding methods of the poor people.
Like some women of royal nobles or large families, they never need to feed themselves after giving birth, but find a good nursing mother in advance.
The thing that makes people wonder is that these women obviously have their own breast milk, so why should they find a nursing mother to feed their children? Are they all so delicate?
Of course, when it comes to this problem, it is necessary to see what the social situation at that time was, in ancient times, it was normal for men to have three wives and four concubines, and the royal nobility was even more so, their wives and concubines were in groups, so in the family women often had a situation of competition, as a mother after giving birth to a child, of course, you must focus on your child.
Taking care of babies is a matter of patience and responsibility, and in ancient times the idea of male superiority and female inferiority was deeply rooted, so women should not only take good care of their children after giving birth, but also serve their husbands.
Because of the three thousand harem beauties in the palace, the mother's dependence on her son became a kind of social trend at that time, and so did some powerful and powerful families.
If the women of these families give birth to sons, their status can be described as rising, and in the aristocratic family, if they hire more nursing women, the more they show their family's status, it also proves that their families have many children.
Therefore, the nursing mother became a social trend of that era, in the eyes of women in the feudal period, women in large families thought that feeding their children was an act of lowering their stature and would be looked down upon, so they never fed their children.
In the feudal period, men were responsible for supporting their families, women were responsible for husbands and godsons, and royal women were not allowed to take them with them after giving birth to sons.
In fact, this is not without reason, mainly to prevent interference in political issues between the mother and the crown prince, because the emperor hates women who like to interfere in politics.
Another point is that their identity is relatively special, born to be spoiled and habitual people, they are not good at taking care of themselves, where can they know how to take care of a child?
In ancient times, the requirements for feeding children's milk were also very strict, and it was generally difficult for nursing mothers to eat pig's trotters without adding a grain of salt every day when feeding children.
Puyi's nursing mother is like this, and Puyi knows that she was weaned at the age of nine, and the most ruthless thing is that the nursing mother who has paid for Puyi for many years was directly sent out of the palace after Puyi was weaned, without any mercy.
Another point is that the royal family women do not feed their children in order to maintain a good figure and beauty at all times, because only in this way can they have the opportunity to be noticed by the emperor and thus be promoted.
Feeding your own children will definitely go out of shape, so this is one of the reasons why they don't feed themselves and use nursing mothers.
I have to say that the analysis of the ancients is still very realistic, they have many reasons not to breastfeed their children, although it is very outrageous for modern people, but for them in that era, it is reasonable.
