I overheard this at the clinic the other day; a pregnant mom was chatting
with a friend, and said (proudly) that the baby's father doesn't want her
to participate in the WIC program; HE wants to buy the baby's milk!
Folks, I almost fell out of my chair. I know I've read something like
this in some of the anthropological looks at infant feeding practices
across the world. Idon't remember which country or province this was
(certainly not in NYC!) where the father proved his paternity by
providing the infant with tinned milk.
Where are we going and where have we been???
