Breast-Feeding and Shot-Giving
So the most interesting day at the disponsaire: It is the baby-weighing and vaccination day. Good thing I came because the Sage-Femme didn't and the aide would have been all by herself. I filled out registration cards and what-nots while the aide administered the vaccinations. She has a child, 5-6 months or so. Well the baby screams, so it's time to feed her, but the aide is working. So she whips out one breast over the top of her shirt, lays the child across her knees to feed, and holds on to another baby's kicking leg as she gives the injection. Absolutely crazy!!

Ahh....this takes me back to freshman year and the diagrams of female and male genital (lol I’ll leave it at that) I wish I could have seen your face. As small of a response you might have shown, even if it was just a wince, I wish I could have been there to see that. You would have had me cracking up!!!
