- Resum
- Across Europe in the late Middle Ages, parents and authorities took measures to promote maternal lactation and to prevent children from being deprived of their mothers' milk. In Spain, the Kingdom of Aragon found a solution to the problem caused by the separation of children from their biological mothers for the purpose of breastfeeding by hired nurses. This novel initiative involved the tacit or explicit agreement that widows and single mothers should receive wages over a specific amount of time for nursing and rearing their own children, in addition to what they would receive as inheritance. To our knowledge, this option for salarying nursing mothers has not been documented elsewhere in Europe.
