I don't have them at hand and they are hard to find. It is more like
''circumstancial evidence'', looking at how a baby is built, how his natural
posture is and what flexing and fixing thatflexion does to joins that are not
supposed to befixed in a flexed position. The importance of a baby's hands in
front of his body, free to move around his head and face is written about
more. It has to do with connecting to ones self. I'm sure some of this list
will be better in explaiing this than I am.

Anyhow, I should have stayed out of this, we've had this discussion some time
ago (couple of months?) with and about dr. Karp's recommendations. It should
be in the archives. I tend to become emotional when discussion this topic and
that is not the best way to handle it.

Warmly greeting,

Gonneke
