Zur Geschichte des Ammenwesens im Klassischen Altertum (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book explores the complex history of wet nursing, a practice that has existed in various forms throughout human history. The author traces the evolution of wet nursing from its ancient origins in Egypt and Mesopotamia to its prevalence in classical Greece and Rome, where it was common for wealthier families to hire wet nurses to care for their infants. The author also examines the social and legal status of wet nurses, who were often slaves or members of the lower classes. The book concludes with an assessment of the practice of wet nursing in the modern world, where it has declined in popularity but still persists in some cultures. Through a meticulous analysis of historical documents and medical texts, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of the historical and cultural significance of wet nursing, shedding light on the complex relationship between mothers, children, and the women who have played a vital role in their care.
