Hallo Sandra,
ich überlege die ganze Zeit schon, was das nun soll? Dieses versessene Suchen, nach "brisanten" Themen, übers "stillen, nicht stillen, hinstillen, herstillen, fremdstillen", weiss der Kuckuck was noch.
Scheinbar ist es hier wirklich soooo langweilig geworden, daß man jetzt schon im vorhinein spekuliert, wer wie antworten wird.
Naja, ich hab und wollte eigentlich zu diesen Themen nix schreiben, da ich ja nur ganz kurz stillte, und von daher so eine bin, die dem "armen Kind" Milch von einer blöden Kuh gibt, wurde ja so beschrieben :-(.
Auch für mich ist das so, daß ich mir das nicht vorstellen könnte, wenn jemand anderer mein Baby stillen sollte, weil entweder ist es uns beiden vorbehalten oder sie stillt nicht, so einfach.
Das ist eine Intimität und Bindung zwischen Mutter und Kind, die man find ich nicht trennen sollte.
Aber wie manche das machen oder nicht, sollten sie ja selber wissen.
Ich finds irgendwie nur schade, daß man schon überlegt, was man für kritische Themen reinstellt, und wie die anderen dann reagieren werden.
Naja vielleicht wirds ja wieder mal besser, aber so finde ich das auch nicht so toll, und muss Sandra beipflichten.
ebenfalls schönen Abend Claudia

Hallo Sandra,
ich glaube nicht, daß es ihr darum ging, Krach zu provozieren. Vielmehr war ihr vorher schon bewußt, daß hier einige mit Unverständnis reagieren. Sie wird sich nur Gedanken gemacht haben, ob es ihr wichtig genug ist oder nicht.
Man kann seine Meinung auch äussern ohne jemanden zu verletzen. Das hat überhaupt nichts mit "singen" zu tun. Jemanden "das ist Unsinn" oder "du lebst in deiner kleinen eigen Welt" an den Kopf zu knallen, finde ich nicht richtig. Sicherlich darf es bei einer Diskussion auch mal rund gehen. Aber wenn direkt die Messer gewetzt werden....nö, nicht mein Ding.

...so hab ich das auch gemeint. Man kann ja seine Erlebnisse schließlich auch nicht *singen*, nicht wahr? Und warum sollte ich nur das berichten, was jedem wie Öl runtergeht bzw. gleichgültig ist?
Übrigens dürfte geneigten Leserinnen bekannt sein, dass ich keine Mutter bin, die Stillen über alles stellt.
Ebenso, dass ich weder zu gepfefferten Formulierungen neige, noch unfähig bin, kritische Anmerkungen zu akzeptieren.
So viel dazu.
Auch euch noch einen schönen Tag.
LG Carolin

"Zum Ammentum möchte ich mal gerne wissen, wer das heute noch praktiziert"
Mag sein, dass es kaum deutschsprachige Links zum Thema Ammen gibt, aber wen wundert`s, wo diese Praxis in Deutschland ja nun nicht mehr üblich ist :-)
Nur sollte man eben auch bereit sein, mal über den Tellerrand zu schauen und die westliche Arroganz bezüglich Themen, mit denen wir uns nur aufgrund unseres Wohlstandes nicht mehr näher beschäftigen (müssen oder wollen), abzulegen - nicht in jeder Kultur ist künstliche Säuglingsnahrung so leicht zugänglich wie bei uns bzw. werden in vielen Kulturen natürliche Ressourcen eben höher geschätzt als künstlich hergestellte, chemisch veränderte Produkte aus Milch einer anderen (Tier)art.
Folgendes hab ich im Netz gefunden, besonders zu beachten der letzte Abschnitt. Interessant ist doch auch, dass das ganze mal in Mode war, mal nicht - also eine Zeiterscheinung und als solche kann das auch wieder kommen, auch wenn sich das heute keiner hier vorstellen kann.
Und regt euch nicht wieder auf, dass ich auf dem "Naturvölker-Trip" bin, ich habe nun mal einen interkulturellen Beruf und da gewöhnt man es sich an, die Dinge in ALLEN Bereichen des Lebens zu relativieren und mit Interesse über den Tellerrand zu schauen - ohne gleich alles genauso machen zu wollen :-)
History of Wet Nursing/Cross Nursing
Wet nursing and cross nursing have been controversial since the beginning of recorded history. About 2000 years B.C., the Code of Hammurabi became the law of the Babylonian Empire. Believe it or not, this oldest of written laws included rules for wet nursing. One of the rules stated that if a wet nurse had been feeding an infant who died for any reason, she was prohibited from taking on another infant to wet nurse.
The Book of Exodus in the Old Testament of the Bible, written about 1250 B.C., tells of a wet nurse being hired for Moses. (Unbeknownst to her employer, the wet nurse was Moses' own mother!) In 900 B.C., Homer referred to wet nursing in his famous epic poems. The Koran, written about 600 A.D., permitted parents to "give your children out to nurse." Hippocrates, the Greek physician, stated in 377 B.C., "One's own milk is beneficial, others' harmful."
As you can see, the practice of wet nursing has been controversial and has gone in and out of fashion throughout history. In Sparta during the fourth century B.C., women; including the wives of kings, were required to nurse their oldest sons. Commoners had to nurse all their children. In one instance a second son of a king inherited the kingdom because he had been nursed by his mother while his older brother had been wet nursed. In ancient Greece and Rome, while wet nurses were slaves, they held a position of respect within the household. They were boarded in the home of the infant and often remained as servants in the family home after the baby weaned.
In 1472 A.D., Paul Bellardus wrote the first pediatric text published in northern Italy. The book included a section on the qualities of a good wet nurse.
From the 16th to 18th centuries, well-to-do mothers in Europe and North America rarely nursed their babies. The infants were placed with wet nurses and returned home only when they were weaned, if they lived.
Fashionable women of the period wore corsets made of leather or metal with stays of bone. The corsets not only broke ribs but also damaged breast tissue and nipples, making breastfeeding impossible. Employing wet nurses was a sign of a family's high status in society, showing that the family had the resources to pay someone else to do any physical tasks.
It was expected that the noblewoman would provide heirs for the family. Even in 17th century England, there was knowledge of the contraceptive effect of breastfeeding; to nurse would have reduced the number of pregnancies, thus heirs. For a noblewoman to have 12 to 18 pregnancies was not uncommon.
Peasants, who not only breastfed their own children but wet nursed for hire and cross nursed in child care, rarely had more than a half dozen children. In addition, it was believed that a breastfeeding mother should not have sexual relations while lactating lest it somehow taint her milk. The conjugal needs of noblemen were more important than those of wet nurses and their husbands.
In 18th century France, wealthy and middle income Parisian women sought to keep their beauty by placing their infants with wet nurses. They believed breastfeeding would ruin their figures and make them old before their time. Also in this period, laws regarding wet nurses were enacted. A wet nurse could not nurse more than two infants along with her own. Each infant required its own crib so the wet nurse would not take a baby to bed and possibly suffocate it.
In the 18th and early 19th centuries, bleeding was believed to he a remedy for most ills. It was used during pregnancy for various problems and complaints; as a result many women died in childbirth. The children whose mothers succumbed to poor prenatal care and obstructed labors were saved only by the services of a wet nurse.
During, the latter part of the 18th century, Dr. William Cadogan wrote an essay on nursing and the management of children from birth to age three. He observed that peasant women who nursed their own babies had healthier children and that early breastfeeding prevented mastitis and engorgement. He therefore advocated breastfeeding for the benefit of both mother and baby.
At various times over the centuries, societal support for breastfeeding waned. Mothers refused to take on the function of lactation. The social attitudes of urban women and their greater access to alternatives led to greater use of wet nurses and less focus on the adequate care of children.
In the mid-19th century, a number of physicians began seeking a breast milk substitute to replace the use of wet nurses. Wet nurses were believed to be the source of disease, especially syphilis. The wet nurse also feared being infected by infants with the disease. It was this widespread fear that motivated the development of artificial feeding.
The turn of the century also saw the establishment of human milk banks. Doctors sought to improve the prognosis for babies denied breast milk since their chances of death were six times greater than breastfed infants. This began the separation of the product from the producer and removed control of feeding from wet nurses.
During the Industrial Revolution through World War II, women began working at jobs in factories where babies could not accompany them. Thus, artificial feeding became well established and accepted.
In many countries today, wet nursing/cross nursing is common practice. Some cultures have strong beliefs and customs that dictate the practice of nursing a baby other than one's own baby. A baby whose mother has died or who cannot nurse is passed among nursing mothers or adopted by a lactating mother whose own baby has died. In Japan and Thailand, breast milk can be given only to a baby of the same sex as the mother's own. In other cultures, breast milk is believed to be the conduit through which the child receives his ancestry, thus only women of the mother's or father's family can be a wet nurse for the infant.

Super, man lernt nie aus!!!
Danke für Deine Mühe!
