Why did concubines in history never breastfeed their children themselves, but instead left them to wet nurses?

Because many of the concubines in the palace did not reach the level of princes who could raise them after giving birth to dragons, so their princes had special wet nurses to raise them on their behalf.

In ancient times, it was not easy to be a concubine in the palace. It was not easy to live a peaceful life, let alone give birth to a prince in peace and stability.

Therefore, many children in the royal family were poisoned before they were born and died.

For example, many children were suddenly killed a few years after they were born, which made the emperor and queen mother very sad.

That's why in ancient palaces, there was a profession of wet nurse.

Many princes are not allowed to live with their mothers since childhood, nor can they be taken care of by their mothers.

They can only be forced to drink the milk of wet nurses because their biological mothers are not capable of raising them, and they are not high enough to raise them.

In addition, the milk of the wet nurses recruited in the palace was very abundant, and people in ancient times believed that breast milk was very nutritious, so they would give the princes to drink the milk of wet nurses.

Therefore, the relationship between these wet nurses and the prince is relatively good. The relationship between many wet nurses and their princes should be better than the relationship between them and their biological mothers.

Many princes did not know their biological mothers at all when they were young. They only recognized their wet nurses, and they would feel very safe when they saw their wet nurse.

Moreover, these wet nurses have to provide milk for the princes to drink every day, take care of the princes' daily life, and help these princes change and bathe, so the wet nurses have to do a lot of things every day.
