[quote=Anonymous]A little bit of history...

The nurse is a character who comes from the dawn of time. In the third millennium BC in Sumer, the wife of Shulgi, the master of the town of Ur, murmured to her child a lullaby: "The nurse with a joyful heart will sing songs to her; The nurse with a joyful heart will give her her milk. " About 1330 BC, in Egypt, King Tut had a tomb built in honor of his nurse. The royal nurses, recruited from the harems of the officers of the Pharaohs, were treated with great respect; The same is true in China, India, Japan and the Middle East.
The classical tragedies echo it: the nurse holds a famous second role. Confident of the hero (a baby who grew up), she is always there to advise him in the crucial moments of his existence. Homer tells us that Ulysses, prince of Ithaca, was nursed by maidservants.
In Islamic law, kinship by milk (being brother or sister of milk) is recognized in the same way as that of blood or marriage.
The story of the nurse is above all that of the commerce of breast milk, in the absence of infantile preparation. In Rome, the services of a nurse were bought on the market in a place called lactaria. Since the Middle Ages, the elites have nurses at home, which allows the ladies of the nobility to fall pregnant faster (since they do not breastfeed). Later, the practice spreads in more modest environments, to enable women to work.[/quote]
