Description
Acknowledgments We offer our deepest gratitude to the women who made the field portion of this project possible—our exceptionally hard-working field research assistants and the study participants who generously and patiently shared their experiences with breastfeeding, parenting, and work. We also thank Dr. Mayron Martinez, Director of the VII Health Region in Sololá, Guatemala and his personnel for their support. In addition, we thank Dr. Nicole Berry (SFU), members of SFU's Human Evolutionary Studies Program, of SFU's Maternal and Child Health Lab, and of Aarhus University's Centre for Biocultural History for thoughtful comments during the early stages of developing this research. Our work was primarily supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (award number 727-2011-3333) and Simon Fraser University. The co-authors also receive financial support from the National Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (Discovery grant number 293140), the Canada Research Chairs Program, the British Columbia Knowledge Development Fund, the Canada Foundation for Innovation, the Dalla Lana Institute for Public Health, and the Michael Smith Foundation.
