Having watched many other animals (other than we human animals I mean)
feeding their young, including calves head butting their mothers' udders to
expedite let down, it seemed entirely appropriate to attribute those lovely
finger movements of newborns and the 'scrunching' of older babes when
nursing to the same phenomenon. :-) aint nature grand?????  useful analogies
to use for women with 'let down' and supply issues etc.  warm regards,  Carolyn
