조선왕실에 숨은 충격적 진실, 왕비가 모유를 먹일 수 없던 이유

In the middle of the night, when the young prince was unable to swallow his medicine, the method the palace devised was astonishing. Instead of the child, a woman standing nearby swallowed the medicine first, intending to transfer its effects through her breast milk. That woman was none other than a royal wet nurse. In the Joseon royal court, it was rare for the Queen to feed her children personally; princes and princesses grew up in the care of wet nurses. Furthermore, if the child she raised became king, that wet nurse could attain the rank of 'Bongbobuin,' a title of the highest rank (Jong 1-Pum). · Why Didn't the Queen Feed Him Personally?
