    A few examples of nursing in the Bible.


    Exodus 2:7 [biblegateway.com]

    Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Should I go and call a Hebrew woman who is nursing to nurse the boy for you?”

    Ruth 4:16 [biblegateway.com]


    Naomi took the child, placed him on her lap, and became a mother to him.

    In verse 17 following, we see the child is an ancestor of David.

    Gen 24:58-59 [biblegateway.com]


    58 They called Rebekah and said to her, “Will you go with this man?”

    She replied, “I will go.” 59 So they sent away their sister Rebekah with the one who had nursed and raised her,[j] and Abraham’s servant and his men.

    2 Kings 11:2 [biblegateway.com]


    Jehosheba, who was King Jehoram’s daughter and Ahaziah’s sister, secretly rescued Joash son of Ahaziah from among the king’s sons who were being killed and put him and the one who nursed him in a bedroom. So he was hidden from Athaliah and was not killed.

    2 Sam 4:4 [biblegateway.com]


    Saul’s son Jonathan had a son whose feet were crippled. He was five years old when the report about Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel. His nanny picked him up and fled, but as she was hurrying to flee, he fell and became lame. His name was Mephibosheth.

    Now in modern times, from TFA above:

    Some will protest, "But that mother must leave her child and pursue employment - else our economy will fail!" Others will grouse, "Surely our science has progressed to the point where we no longer need to nurse our offspring like beasts of the field do."

    There is a simple and obvious solution! Again, science to the rescue!

    Scientific American:

    Remote work from home men can do and nurse they must because women go out of the house they must to pursue employment. Otherwise our economy, fail it will. Yes! Economic fail leads to the dark side.

    Men nursing seems a simple, obvious and natural solution to a modern problem.
