Chinese women do not offer the breast before the milk comes in (at least,
that is what the new immigrants told a colleague of mine)
Another friend of mine, who had worked in refugee camps in Thailand also
told me that Vietnamese and Cambodian (sp?) women considered colostrum as
bad, and had the baby wet nursed until the milk came in.

From a md that considers studying anthropology as either a post-baby,
pre-retirement project, or as a vaccine against burnout (anyway, I will
do it eventually, as it is SO interesting)
