[quote]No dear hkhan, excuse me, it is no reply but just hanky panky.  I cannot understand why a widowed urban woman should hand over her only child to a woman of a wandering tribe even for a single day and treat her household more important than nursing her child.

My other point that whether this practice is still followed by the urban mothers of Arabs today and why not when its necessity would have increased manifold, has not been touched by you.

Btw, how do you say that the child was handed over to Mai Haleema for a short time?  As we gather from Hdees the prophet respected Mai Haleema very much which shows that he would have remained in her custody for three or four years, the most formative years in the child's life.  I say this because I was also breast-feeded for a short time by neighborly peasant woman.  My mother would often  order me to call her mother as I had been breast-feeded by her (which I did not remember) but I would say I had drunk milk of a cow also  should I call her mother too.[/quote]
