The idea is so taboo in our culture that it would be fun to see the other reasonings behind it, and it is rather funny how we have developed because it was pretty commonplace at one time.Nicole (Linus's Blanket)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12473607646939202824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-74951838979058991862009-11-19T18:13:04.167-05:002009-11-19T18:13:04.167-05:00I really enjoyed this novel.

A wet nurse is very foreign to most modern women, especially in America where women are encouraged to breastfeed for at least a year after the birth of their child. <br /><br />Glad you enjoyed this novel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-84775893774362971602009-11-19T15:54:38.902-05:002009-11-19T15:54:38.902-05:00This book sounds great!
