Unsolicited Parenting Advice from Strangers, 2

The nice Jamaican woman who helps run Juliana's Restaurant informs us that breastfeeding mothers should avoid all green, leafy vegetables, especially lettuce and cabbage, "because it makes baby gassy." Also beans, needless to say.

Later, when we've left the restaurant and start down Toronto St, a young woman offers to sell us a stockpile of formula, cheap. We're breastfeeding, we tell her. Oh, she says. Well, if you change your mind, just drop by [censored] Burnell St and she'll hook us up.
