get __________________________________________.
(The baby was given to his own mother to “nurse” until the baby was old enough to wean (stop sucking milk). Then the baby would be taken to the king’s house and given to the princess. So Moses’ own mother had him for 2 to 4 years. Babies were nursed sometimes back then for a long time. They did not use baby bottles back then. And they did not have baby food. When it came time for a child to eat food, the mother chewed the food first herself then took it from her mouth and put it in the baby’s mouth. Mother’s in Africa and such places still do it this way.)
