Sobre l'esdeveniment

Who nursed the babies brought to the Foundling Hospital? Throughout history and across cultures people have had to grapple with the problem of what to do if a birth mother cannot feed her own baby. One solution has been wet nurses: the nursing of an infant by another woman. Discover the lives of the Foundling Hospital wet nurses in this talk. Join us in person or online.
