Namita Das says she was spurred to suckle it by a combination of maternal and religious feelings.
She recently gave birth after many years of trying for a baby and felt the need to save the animal because she is a devotee of the Hindu monkey god Hanuman.
The monkey was found almost dead by her woodcutter husband in a forest clearing outside Chandrapur village in Tripura state.
The Pragati newspaper reports hundreds of people have turned up to see Das feed the monkey.
Local school teacher Ballabh Saha said: "We can't help feeling touched by her concern for the monkey. It's like she believes it is her own child."
