The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down_by Anne Fadiman is a *great* book. I highly recommend it to all. A story well told with much to teach us about how we think about birth, bf, parenting, cultures that are "other" for us. I imagine that cross nursing is more common than we are aware of or willing to admit. It seems a natural thing to do. Does anyone know of any research on this topic? How about info on cross nursing in the animal kingdom?
