Re: You are so modern
wet nurses existed back in the day too. in the western part of the hemisphere (read: europe) and in the eastern part. back then, it was the rich families who could afford to have a wet nurse. why? because the women had to go back to bed to make more babies. i doubt that the practice of wet nursing exists now. instead, the bottle is the new nanny. and so, the new, “modern, advanced” world has now moved away from the bottle and prefers mother’s milk. but wait…didn’t this new modernism start the formula in the first place?
