When girls were sixteen, they usually were married and was a mother by then. And aren't we glad in our time now we don't marry that young! The women sometimes had their own business, just like lots of women do now. The mothers also ran the house hold, not the father. Some girls and women worked as artist, doctors, and also rulers and more. They achieved as leaders in their community. A big job for women in the Middle Ages, they had to feed the family. The women in our century now also feed their family, but other can too.
The babies were breast fed. Women were in charge of health to their family and servants. The birth of a baby was done at home in the mother bed. We are very glad that we have advanced technology to be able to give birth at the hospital and we have pain killers. If the mother died, a Cesarean section was preformed to have the baby. The child is extracted from the womb with a hook if the child died. Young girls were trained to become a house wife. Young girls now are not trained, they go to school like boys would, they also could have jobs as teens.
I didn't know the babies could be breast fed!!
