"Another W/U video shows a room in an apparently third world country where a
bunch of premie moms (like a dozen or so) all pump their milk for their
babies, and likewise breastfeed them sitting side by side.  "

I think this is the film from Nairobi in Kenya. It's absolutely fantastic to
watch. These mums pump buckets of milk for their premies and they do it by
hand into plastic drink beakers. I remember one clip where approx. 10 (maybe
more?) women sit around a table together and hand express their milk. My
feeling is that expressing in groups like this gets the oxytocin flowing!

(who pumped together with woman from Sierre Leone (spelling?) while in
hospital - got laughed at my this woman because she was pumping on day four
and me on +4 hours!)
