Wet nurse - Wikipedia
A wet nurse is a woman who breastfeeds and cares for another's child. [1] Wet nurses are employed if the mother dies, or if she is unable or chooses not to nurse the child herself. Wet-nursed children may be known as "milk-siblings", and in some cultures, the families are linked by a special relationship of milk kinship.
