Dear Folks:
  Kathy Dettwyler was talking about the Harlow studies in the 40s and 50s;
some stuff published in Scientific American. The effects of sterile touch,
lack of movement and impersonal nourishment via a bottle inserted in the chest
of the dummy mothers are chilling, especially when one looks around and sees
babies carried in plastic trays!
   Another book about baby wearing is the Continuum Concept by Jean Leidloff
(?spelling). The author went and lived with a tribe of hunter-gathers in South
America for nearly three years. Great book. Warmly, Nikki Lee
