    My parents were old time hunters and trappers who were born in the wilderness … so they weren’t up to date with the latest pediatric recommendations at the time.

        I’m indigenous Canadian and I’m the first generation in my family to be born in a modern hospital. My parents were born and raised in the wilderness and lived a very traditional nomadic life for about the first 30 years of their lives. They had a bit of education and they were very bright people but they had no understanding of many modern things … things like feeding a baby caffeinated drink. All they understood is that it was nutritious and filling.

        And it didn’t do me any damage … I think?
