I've just got chime in on the movies showing breastfeeding (hi, Jeanne!)
The Last Emperor, which is about China's last emporer, shows the approx.
2-year-old new emperor being separated from his mother and handed over to
a wet nurse.  In a later scene the 9 (? or so)-year-old calls for his
nurse and nurses.  It is depicted as heartbreaking for him when the court
ladies have the nurse sent away.  It's got to be the oldest child I've
ever seen nurse onscreen (the audience gasped).
