The ancients thought feudal, thinking that women must obey men, women's identity is very humble, there is no human rights to speak of, ancient women at home to listen to their fathers, married to listen to their husbands, husbands to listen to their sons when they die. If they were born in a family of officials and eunuchs, the living conditions of women in merchant families would be relatively better, and if they were, girls from ordinary families, or even poor families, would have to go to large families as maids at a young age, and after getting married, they would have to be nurses for others.
In ancient times, the hostess of the rich family will not personally feed after giving birth to a child, they will find some nurses to feed the child breast milk, and some even want the nurse to feed the child breast milk to three or four years old, which is very unscientific in modern times, modern breastfeeding at most to about one year old to stop, in fact, long-term feeding of breast milk for the growth of the child is also unfavorable, the ancients thought stupid, so the hardest is responsible for feeding the milk of the milk. Breastfeeding is already very harmful to women's bodies, not to mention breastfeeding for a long time, which is very harmful to women after giving birth.
Very much for the nurses are abandoning their own children, to feed the master's children, the master's children because of breastfeeding day by day healthy growth, their own children are crying day and night, extremely poor nutrition, and even some may die of malnutrition. On the one hand, the nurses have to worry about whether their children are full and clothed, and on the other hand, they have to worry about whether the host family is satisfied with the feeding of the little master, which is a kind of torture for the nurses. Many of the rich people's grandmothers were before they were at home as a maid, and when they grew up to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, the master assigned a small house to marry, and after getting married and having children, they were called back to the house by the master to be the grandmother for the newborn child of the host family.
The wives of the ancient large families attached great importance to the maintenance of the body, especially after giving birth to children, because they should pay more attention to the body, so basically they would not personally feed the newborn, and they were all done by the nurses. There are also some house nurses who not only have to feed their newborns, but even set aside breast milk for the host's mother to drink. In ancient times, people believed that breast milk had high nutritional value, so breast milk became the best nutritional product and was used by some rich people to supplement the body. Producing a large amount of breast milk is very bad for the health of the nurse, which is equivalent to overdrafting physical health in the service of the owner. In the ancient feudal society, there were too many poor people, in order to survive to be a nurse is also a last resort, to a large family after a few years as a nurse, many mothers return home and their children do not know her, which is also very cruel for a mother.
