They were not comfortable with the thought of that sign in america, and so i can just see that there is a lot more acceptance in russia.Garrett Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13614146131625801901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20642800.post-19864116109922739092009-08-21T20:13:55.295-04:002009-08-21T20:13:55.295-04:00That is great!That is great!Enjoy Birthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13227246774801636777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20642800.post-27878311317787174912009-08-21T02:35:48.559-04:002009-08-21T02:35:48.559-04:00Hello, my name is Daria.

But the thing is that in the maternity hospitals (around 98% of women give birth there) they hardly provide any support for those who wish to breasfeed. And, as a result, lots of women (I just finished my MA research on a relaed topic) have mastitis, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20642800.post-62509052303802113682009-08-20T09:26:20.262-04:002009-08-20T09:26:20.262-04:00Go Russia!
