Mother: And why did you leave your last job?
Wet Nurse: My employer no longer needed my services.
Mother: Why was that?
Wet Nurse: Because the child no longer required breast milk.
Mother: I see … and was that your decision or the mother’s?
Wet Nurse: Hers, of course.
Mother: And how old was the child?
Wet Nurse: 13 months.
Mother: Is that all?
Wet Nurse: Yes, ma’am.
Mother: How long would you be willing to commit here?
Wet Nurse: I usually stay on until the child is a year old.
Mother: But you stayed for 13 months at your last job?
Wet Nurse: Yes, but that was a special circumstance…
Mother: Are you unwilling, then, to stay past a year?
Wet Nurse: I’m not unwilling, no, but it is best for the child to wean off of breast feeding after 12 months.
Mother: I see.
Wet Nurse: How old is your daughter?
Mother: She’s 15 months.
Wet Nurse: Are you still nursing her?
Mother: We were hoping to start her with you…
