Milk kinship is a designation that refers to social practices sharing the feature in which infants are breastfed by lactating women who are not their birth mothers. Historically these practices were widespread in the Mediterranean, Arabian and Balkan regions, and among contemporary Shia and Sunni Muslim groups. While the practice pre‐dates Islam, Islamic sources legitimized and regulated it. Recent field research has sought to define the parameters that might empirically establish the admissibility or inadmissibility of milk kinship practices within the anthropological category of kinship
