I am going to hold a food day so we can eat Mexican food and chat. No matter how poor they are they like to feed us when we come. One of the moms is determined that we learn how to cook Mexican. At each prenatal she would have food ready to prepare and teach us how to cook it, and then of course, we had to eat it. Heavenly, I love authentic Mexican food, as I was raised on it.
Family is very important.
For some adopting American culture is the goal, for others rejecting it is the goal. WIC makes it too easy NOT to breastfeed. Unfortunately these kids need breastmilk more than most. I think not. I have some sweet new clients whose previous midwife was a Born In Zion midwife.
