I had no problem with the breastfeeding but the pose did seem unnatural to me too- they had an alternative shot of her with the baby in her lap that I thought was much more natural and realistic than the standing pose. So the comment about the Guatemalan women nursing standing up interests me.

This is why I love your cross-cultural posts. I always learn something new.
