In ancient times, there was no milk powder, how to feed the baby?
1. Breastfeeding Even in the modern era of rich and diverse milk powder, we still recommend that mothers use breast milk to feed their babies. Because breast milk is the most suitable food for newborns, its nutrition and safety are irreplaceable by any milk powder
2. What should I do if I don't have enough breast milk? Rich people look for wet nurses Their own milk is insufficient, and they can "borrow milk" from other places.
Therefore, in ancient times, there was also a profession called "nursing mother", which was specially designed to feed those children who did not have enough breast milk, but the nursing mothers who could be invited were often rich and large families
3. What should I do if I don't have any money? Drink rice soup The nurse is only affordable by rich people, what should people who have no money do? I can only find some rice soup, rice paste and the like instead.
Because newborn babies cannot swallow large particles of food, people in ancient times could only use rice and grind it into a fine slurry suitable for swallowing instead.
If you encounter a poorer one, you can only grind some vegetable leaves and leaves. In some remote villages, it is also possible that this situation, with hungry babies, go door to door to see who has extra milk after feeding the child, and after the end, worship a few more dry mothers.
4, drink animal milk in the TV series, you may see that there is no movement to feed children wolf milk, horse milk or something.
In fact, except for those who have lived in pastoral areas for generations, who may know some ways to deal with mature animal fresh milk, the toiling people in non-pastoral areas will all depend on luck.
Because animal milk is not something that babies can drink if they want to drink, animal milk often has a lot of bacteria, and there was no current sterilization technology at that time, and babies had no resistance to bacteria at all. Therefore, whether the baby can live after drinking it depends on the creation.
