 A question that I have been pondering concerning the discussion of
becoming "related" through breastfeeding in certain cultures, is the
prevalence of "wet nursing" or "shared nursing" among the women in the
community??  Is it common??  Do they keep careful track of which mother
nursed which baby, or does it simply become part of one's geneology??  It
seems that it could become very complicated, especially if the group is
small and very interdependent?  Does anyone have more experience with this
custom??  I find it very, very interesting.
