'cause babies are funny little critters? 'cause they really haven't
identified "hunger" as a real specific feeling that is quickly fixed by
nursing, so the sucking kind of calms them down & gets them on track? Like
"oh yeah, now I remember, when I do this I feel better". Lots of babies will
calm down enough to latch & nurse just by sucking a finger, or dad's nose,
or the dog's ear, or whatever.

Bottom line - babies are just wierd sometimes. That's the technical
explanation, of course.

Enjoying your posts from daddy-land!
