The part of this study that I recall the best is the difference between what
happened between the three groups became mothers:
Group one raised normally with their mother had babies and mothered them well.
Group two who had a bottle to suck from on a fur covered wire frame killed
their first few infants then figured it out and finally managed to nuture an
infant.
Group three on a wire frame with just a bottle was never able to socialize
and raise their young.
This is can be applied to why it is important that mothers not prop the
bottle and hold their infants while feeding. Also, you may extrapolate from their
findings that there may even be a difference between being held skin to skin
while breastfeeding vs just next to the mothers clothing while bottle feeding.
Very powerful research easily understood by even the simplest mind. Chris
