What is Purse-feed?
1.
The act of feeding an infant Jewish child, much like breast-feeding. Small amounts of coins or occasionally very small bills at later stages are used.
Arieh: And how long should my wife purse-feed my son Asher?
Asa: For about six months, weening him off by substituting kosher foods into his diet.
Arieh: Ah, thank you. He won't be hungry after that.
