Dear All:
 
This video is not perfect. Some say the setting is wrong and that there are  
too many people around. There are others that accept the crowd as part of  the 
event.  There is no eye contact between mother and baby. This births  setting 
is said to be "wrong" compared with some other points of view.
 
However, it is the only one of its kind on the Internet. Widstrom said that  
mothers mothered differently, and kept their babies with them longer, if the  
baby's mouth merely touched the mothers' nipple and areola. There was no 
mention  of them looking at each other. Winikoff said that early suckling had the  
strongest impact on breastfeeding.
 
The birth setting is not one I would want; it seems as disruptive as any  
technologically driven birth in my country. I wonder how many labor and deliver  
like that.
 
Yet the baby self-attaches. 
 
For me, that is the point.  I want people to see that no matter  how dismal 
the birth setting, or culturally varied. the baby can still  self-attach.
 
warmly,
