Stekel seems to down play the idea that a wet nurse could transmit her character traits to a child…

…but this is far from the truth.  Those who know about attachment certainly know that breast feeding is at the root of attachment.  The child actually would exemplify more of the personality traits of the wet nurse  than of the one who bore him although genetically his physical nature would still resemble his biological parents.
