Someone recently referred to dry nursing. I found this in Lawrence's 5th
edition of Breastfeeding, A guide for the medical profession on page 9:
"On the birth of the Prince of Wales (later George IV) in 1762, it was
officially announced: wet nurse. Mrs. Scott; dry nurse, Mrs. Chapman;
rockers, Jane Simpson and Catherine Johnson."
