Linda:

   I find myself talking and asking parents more and more about what they
have seen or know or even can conjecture about other countries...

      do the japanese really stop eating sushi? do the indians stop using
curry? do the spanish and mexican stop using spices? ... so why are
american woman told to?

       where do babies sleep in other countries ...

       and I would ask about weaning...

  i think it helps people to look outside of our own little corner of the
world...

  may not help if this md has always lived here...

  might try a comparison with physicians... ob/ped/ fp...

  good luck,

 warmly,

    Patricia
