    Breast milk and mortar and pestles have existed for a long time too to make food into a mush.

    must of

    Must have, or must’ve. Of is a preposition, not a verb.

    So, women are beautiful, and their big bouncy boobs are loved by everybody…but what if I told you a secret hack that could feed babies, using nothing more than a pair of boobs??? Gerber hates this one simple trick!

    Jokes aside, there have been cultures where women went into labor and would deliver by themselves away from the tribe. It’s been a while since I read about it, but iirc if she returned without the newborn is was either unacknowledged or at minimum just accepted as her decision. Imagine having a still birth or a child with extreme physical deficiencies prior to modern medicine. I do remember thinking when I read it that it surely resulted in women not returning, too, because childbirth can be risky even with a team of professionals.

    Also wet nurses have been a thing, and the practices with that range from understandable to horrific - think wives of slave owners not wanting to breast feed, so they force a slave that’s given birth recently take on the duty, usually as a priority over their own child. Course, there’s always been women who couldn’t produce milk, so it has been done altruistically, too

      That one always confused me. They probably aren’t feeding and housing the slave that’s feeding their baby well. Maybe I am missinformed but i’d imagine that provided less healthy milk. Not to mention the stress associated with having to feed someone else’s baby.

        The only reference I have to go on off the top of my head there is Django Unchained where a difference was noted for those working in the house vs fields. I imagine it was used as emotional manipulation to bribe them with better living conditions in some cases, though

    If the post is not a joke, your grammar definitely is

    If you mean those jars of mushed up fruit, they used mushed up fruit.

    If you mean formula, then they either had a wet nurse who could assist, or the baby would die.

    Infant mortality has decreased significantly in the modern age, and it’s the main reason average life expectancy has gone up so much.

        If you’re never sober, then you’re never high, either. Tolerance is a bitch.

            That only works for awhile. Eventually you run out of dopamine and then nothing works, even if you haven’t touched it in years. Ask me how I know.
