Baby feeder exciting wee runts (3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wet nurse

'baby feeder' is the definition.
(woman employed to breastfeed a child)

'exciting wee runts' is the wordplay.
'exciting' indicates an anagram.
'wee'+'runts'='weerunts'
'weerunts' anagrammed gives 'WET-NURSE'.

(Other definitions for wet nurse that I've seen before include "feeder" , "Coddle" , "Milk supplier" , "Woman to help mum" , "Woman feeding another's baby" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
