Subject: mother from Guatemala (long)
Dear Friends:
I visited a young, first time mother today who has no insurance.
She and
her family are living with her cousin's family.
Times are hard in Guatemala; a man can work all day and earn $5,
not
enough to feed a family. She, one of 11 children, got to finish 3rd
grade, and
then had to stay home and help her mother. Her cousin translated for
us, as
she doesn't speak English and my Spanish is not all that helpful.
She is breastfeeding on both sides, then giving 2 ounces of formula
because she is interpreting a cluster pattern as meaning she doesn't
have enough
milk.
