I always wondered where wet nurses came from when there just weren't any post pregnancy moms available and discovered that a huge segment of our female population has what is called a pituitary tumor which produces prolactin, the hormone needed to produce milk. I was told by an ob-gyn, approximately 1/3 of females have them, but few have symptoms. However, once finished nursing, the woman can continue to easily produce milk because of the add'l hormones for nursing. That was probably way more info that anyone wanted, but it sure answer the question of where wet nurses often came from.
