sei zu gierig

It was too greedy, they said, sucked as much as two babies, deprived the other sucklings of milk and them, the wet nurses, of their livelihood, for it was impossible to make a living nursing just one babe.
Es sei zu gierig, hieß es, sauge für zwei, entziehe den anderen Stillkindern die Milch und damit ihnen, den Ammen, den Lebensunterhalt, da rentables Stillen bei einem einzigen Säugling unmöglich sei.
