What is another word for wetnursing?
Pronunciation: [wˈɛtnɜːsɪŋ] (IPA) 
Wetnursing is an old-fashioned term that refers to the practice of breastfeeding someone else's baby. This ancient profession has been around for centuries and dates back to the times when wealthy women were unable to breastfeed their own children. Over the years, many synonyms have been used to refer to wetnursing, such as cross-nursing, milk-sharing, lactation assistance, breastmilk donation, and milk banking. While wetnursing has lost traction in modern times due to the rise of formula feeding, some women still choose to wetnurse other babies to help a friend or relative who cannot breastfeed their own baby.
