Yes, it's magic that has held them back from conquering Thedas. Since qunari mages are leashed up all the time, they never get the chance to really utilize their powers in combat, unlike the Chantry trained mages or especially the Tevinter mages.

The thing that stuck out the most, to me, was the mother’s involvement. Considering the conditions that we see in DA, a mother passing a newborn to the Tamassrans wouldn’t seem efficient or sensible. There is not infant formula or bottles. Unless there is an entire portion of the Qunari devoted to the job “wet nurse” this system wouldn’t work. For as advanced as the Qunari are, clean water and food would still be a consideration for infants and toddlers. A female Qunari nursing her offspring for a year + would be feasible before handing the child to the Tamassrans. It would also mean that she could resume her role to the fullest in whatever job she possessed before.
Considering they have parts of population devoted to every other job, having designated wet nurses seem highly likely. A skilled professional can take good care of the child while the mother can go back to what task she happens to be best at. This does seem both efficient and sensible, more efficient at least than having a highly skilled specialist taken away from her role and expected to do something she has little experience with for year or more.KSuri wrote...

I'm 99% certain that there is.

Wet nurses only work when the woman has recently given birth herself.

That's not true at all. A woman just needs to be lactating and that can be facilitated by regular suckling (which causes a neural reflex of prolactin)Saibh wrote...

The problem runs comes with how many wet nurses are there? It doesn't make sense (to me) for a large portion of females to not be contributing to the things like food production (farming) because their only job is wet nursing. It makes more sense (to me) to have a woman nurse her own infant for the year or so while still performing her regular job. History suggests that women can still farm AND breast feed.

Logistically speaking, Qunari are impossible people. They are NOT human in their mentality... Why do you think they should be in physiology?
I mean c'mon, there is an honest chance that they don't suckle at all! Remember Sten? He lived of a bucket of moonshine and and fresh air for about a month!

You did notice the disclaimer at the end of my post no? I realize they aren't human, or that there is any concrete evidence they are even mammals. But, as mammals are what they outwardly appear to be I couldn't help thinking about it. It's hard for me to imagine a Qunari being born like a shark, the size of a two year old and already able to care for itself to a degree.

Why leave such an important job as taking care of an infant to amateurs? That is at least as important as farming.

Oh I did notice the disclaimer and
I was pleasantly surprised too
And they do DEFINITELY need to
care for their young.
I am just saying that Qunari can have any
number of fantastic traits yet unrevealed considering *snort* how
little we have seen of them.... And all this radio silence about the
Qunari females.... It is not entirely a giveaway I grant you.. but is
something, right?

Presuming they would breast feed for a year + AND said farmer female would be expected to become pregnant multiple times across her lifetime it seems she would become rather adept at feeding, wiping bottoms, and cleaning snotty noses rather quickly.

I'm sure a wet nurse can care for more than one child at a time, by care I mean nurse and provide all the comfort and other necessities infants usually require. But what's the ratio? How many infants can a Qunari woman nurse at a time compared to the number of infants needing fed? Let's not even consider that she helps with the bundles of older children at all but instead receives aid from older females who are no longer able to nurse. How many wet nurses are needed in order for a population to grow and not just stay stable? And, how many females fill that position without taking away from other essential positions like food production?

Why would she help with the older children? They would be taught by the Talmassran by then.
And they keep an eye on how many get born, I think they have the figures all figured out. When they are all nursed out they help with other things than lactating. That isn't all there is to raising a toddler right?

I think I mentioned something to that affect. A wet nurse would just be nursing/infant care but ALSO receiving aid from older females. I think we all know raising kids isn't an easy task and anyone who's had more than one in the infant stage knows that better than most. But, serioiusly, how many children at these wet nurses nursing? 2:1, 3:1? It takes a lot of calories for brain and body development so it would stand to reason that there is a finate number of children a female could nurse, and maybe not all are able to nurse the same number of babies. So how does your population grow when instead of having 100 females nursing and caring for their infants that first year or so there is only 30 wet nurses with a 2:1 infant ratio?

Having wet nurses means that your productivity is easier to predict over time. There are women in the leading roles of Qunari society too (well, mainly women), they can't be away for too long.
Lets say that they can handle three at once, and keep their average at 2. That would still be more efficient than not having them.
