The Nurse or wet-nurse
In their time
Wealthier families commonly put their babies out to a wet-nurse or brought one into the house, a practice the Church and moralists sometimes criticised but which stayed widespread among the gentry and prosperous townsfolk. A good nurse was trusted and valued, and in noble households she could remain attached to her charge for years. Poorer mothers nursed their own infants, and some earned a living nursing others'.
