A few weeks ago someone posted a note requesting information on Indian
cultures. I also was interested in this and feel I could be more
understanding of women from India if I knew more.  I was not very pleased
with my e-mail from Dr.Nair and I will send him a note.
What I did find was a very good article that I recommend to this group to
look up.
" Traditional Practices of Women From India: Pregnancy, Childbirth, and
Newborn Care " Ushvendra Kaur Choudhry, RN, PhD. JOGNN. Sept/Oct 1997, Vol
26, No 5, 533-539.
I also plan to seek out a Pediatrician I know who is from India and ask her
some questions.
Hope this is helpful to some.
