Where do the words mom or educate come from? Have mothers always raised their children? When was the first bottle made? What is the point of breastfeeding for adults? What role have wet nurses played in feeding children? Is Colostrum Good? Can boys breastfeed their children? And the grandmothers to their grandchildren? Who suckled characters like Ulysses or Nero? Does the foundation of Rome have to do with breastfeeding? Why did women stop breastfeeding children in the 20th century? This book carries out an in-depth study of the history of breastfeeding in the world, the most universal and interdisciplinary in existence, exposing a new range of lactating hypotheses. Throughout its pages it is clarified how the raising of children has changed, analyzing the fundamental role of wet nurses in the education of children. The origin of taboos and myths about breastfeeding are also studied, and the evolution and development of artificial breastfeeding and its controversies are exposed. An exciting study that connects directly with other areas such as women, birth, childhood, gastronomy, erotic-modesty, economics, or related to private life, and which, as in the case of death or love can never go out of style.
