This is forwarded from a midwife friend:

         This was from a newspaper in Christchuch, New Zealand.  It was
 reprinted in a LaLecheLeague publication in 1980.

         Contary to popular folklore, breastfeeding can cause unforseen
 trauma.  A Christchurch businessman reports the case of a woman sunbathing at
Lady's Bay, one of Sydney's nude beaches, with her eight-month-old child.

         She didn't noice that the baby had crawled off until there was a
 feminine scream from one of the prostrate bodies further down the beach.

         Hungry after its journey, the child had latched onto the nearest
 feature it recognized.
