Generalizations

I have been reading and re-reading the book that the agency sent with the referral, it is mostly a compilation of stories, resources suggestions, and some interesting facts about asian babies. Did you know that most asian babies do not have the enzyme to digest milk sugars? They recommend a soy based formula. More later on the bottle/nipple dilemma that goes with this common lactose intolerance problem. As well, Asian babies are prone to perspiring more, and need to be carefully watched for dehydration. We have been reading about home life in Korea quite a bit and are getting prepared for her to have been carried most of the time by Mrs. Kim, so we look forward to pulling out the old baby sling and Bjorn carrier. As well, in the Korean culture they generally sleep in the same room as the babies, so we expect we'll do the same for at least a little while. I'll share more later.
