My mind is blown 🤯. I didn't know that the Momo was a separate staff unit in the Forbidden City. Wow. Thank you so much for this amazing video. The Momo are truly a respectable group of people having been recruited with strong emphasis on their qualifications. Thank you again. Learning about the Momo is exciting.
@@vishnukanagalingam1991 you are most welcome. I was very curious cause in Qing drama there always were older women around so when she said the imperial maids must leave when they are 25 I was curious if those older women was a thing of fiction or not. I am glad she took the time to respond which goes to show her eagerness to teach us.
They are right that breastfeeding leads to reduced fertility but it takes a woman's body 2 years to fully recover from pregnancy. I'm sure being pregnant back to back didn't help mortality rates.
I'm not sure about the Qing dynasty but during the Ming dynasty, the wet nurse of the Tianqi Emperor, Madame Ke became the co-regent of China along with lover. In the Northern Wei dynasty, wet nurses of the emperors held the title, Nurse Empress Dowager.
🤔That is very Interesting! It´s funny that was in the High Class of European neary the same that a Wet nurse was Breast the Baby. But it was more that the Mother could return to her Buisness or more return back in the offciale LIfe to Show she was living and not Death😄. Thank you you esplain us about the Group of Momo. I ask me who was married and the Husband alive, was he working the forbidden City, too.?🤔

@@doreensika837 Agreed.
Lol I asked this question in the last video about imperial maids! Thank you for answering!

Back to back pregnancies is considered one of the reasons Empress Marguerita Theresa of Spain died.
This is certainly interesting.
in Huanzhu Gege, step empress personal maid also called Mama, are they same with Momo?
so could souxin come back as a momo, since she was married? idk if my understanding is right lol. and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us
No. She can not. Souxin is imperial maid. After she leaves the Forbidden City, she was not allowed to come back.🤭
@@ancientchinesehistorychannel aww no momo life for her lol.
I wonder if any of the princes and princesses who were raised by the wet nurses gave them some form of gratitude for taking care of them?
