“Take this child away, and nurse it for me” (Ex. 2:99And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it. (Exodus 2:9)). A mother can only nurse her child from that which she herself has taken in and made her own. When a mother is nursing her child, she is very careful what she feeds upon. You will sometimes hear a mother say, “No thank you, it doesn’t seem to agree with the baby.” She is very careful what she feeds upon. And I suggest that even that little example has a present-day application to mothers of children at any age.”
