![]() ![]() There’s also another story out there that says the Fae would exchange their own children for a human child if their own child was sick in any way – any sort of sickness. So, what they would do is they would put a changeling in place of a new mom and steal the new mom away to the Otherworld to basically raise and care for the Fae children ( source). Now, that reason says that the Fae needed to have human breastmilk for their babies. Another reason that I found pertains to the changelings taking the place of a new mom. Some of the stories that I’ve read have said that the changelings would come in, steal the baby away and, in its place, leave a block of wood that was enchanted to look like a baby.īut the two main reasons that I have found for why a changeling would take a baby is because they wanted to raise the human babies as their own, in their world, and be sort of united with them. I also need to mention that depending on the stories that you read, the changeling wasn’t always a Fae that had taken the place of the baby. One of the most common questions – or my question – is why would the changelings take the place of a baby? Or why would the changelings take the place of a new mom? There are a few different theories on why they would do this. Sometimes it was mothers, and we’ll talk about that in a second. Sometimes, it wasn’t just the babies that they took the place of. A changeling is Fae that has taken the place of a baby. But anyway, so the sídhe are the Irish Fair Folk. ![]() They can be seen as the sídhe but they’re not. And they went into the sídhe and they are – it’s complicated. I believe it typically referred to a burial mound, and this comes from folklore where the Tuatha de Danaan were forced to go underground. Sídhe is a term that refers to the Irish Fae – the “fairies” – but the word sídhe actually means a mound in the ground. A changeling is a member of the sídhe that has taken the place of a human, most oftentimes a baby. ![]()
