Since I became a mom and stumbled into becoming a bit of a breastfeeding advocate, I have been fascinated with the cultural differences surrounding things like nursing. As someone who is nursing past the point of most American women, I wonder what it's like in other countries.
I also have this fantasy of picking up and moving to Europe where I think they may have some better ideas than us Americans about raising kids. But no place is 100% perfect and no country is 100% right for everyone.
Well,I have found this fascinating blog written by a Canadian woman who moved to France, married a Frenchman and then proceeded to move to Italy. Having been to Italy once, I only caught a glimpse of the things she speaks of...but this post about the differences in breastfeeding standards really peaked my interest.
