Did u know that judith waterford was a wet nurse for over 50 years. In her prime she was producing 2 quarts a day. At the age 75 however, her milk supply did go down and she stated that she could only take one baby on at a time. She was still producing milk at the age of 81. Now that's one dedicated women

I have been reading more about her and she is just cool.  She was so sad when she could only produce enough milk for one baby at a time.  It broke her heart to turn people down
