Hi everyone,

I did not intend my post to come across as what is followed throughout
Vietnam, but I felt that my mil's experience would help Hannah with the moms
she is helping.  Generalizations may not be appropriate, but it can help get
a feel for other people and their traditions.  I know very well from my own
experience with my husband and his family.  I learned early on that what I
learned in my Vietnamese class did not always apply to his family.  Even the
language.  It did give me a place in which to start---to understand----to
communicate.  I have fumble for many years trying to find my way in his
family.  It helps to have a place to begin.  Breastfeeding has helped me to
form another connection/bond with my mil.
