Abstract
En el Discorso del lattare i figliuoli dalle madri (1542) el humanista
italiano Sperone Speroni aborda un tema de interés en el Renacimiento: si las
mujeres deben amamantar a sus hijos o dejarlos en manos de una ama de cría.
Se parte del análisis de este texto y se confronta con los de otros humanistas
del siglo XIV –Francesco de Barbaro y Leon Battista Alberti– y del XV –fundamentalmente Erasmo de Rotterdam, pero también Juan Luis Vives, Fray Luis
de León, Pedro de Luján y Antonio de Guevara– para poder entender que la
defensa de la lactancia materna es uno de los elementos clave del nuevo concepto de familia y de madre en la sociedad moderna
