To add to Kathy's comment.  The movie does a very good job at  promoting 
attending to the child.  Jack (DeNiro) may care about the  breastmilk, but he is 
also a bit anal about the Ferber method.  In a scene  with Ben Stiller, he is 
watching the child, but cannot deal with the whole  Ferber method, and goes in 
to attend to him.  The Focker family promotes  attachment parenting.  The 
mother (Barbara Streisand) talks about him  nursing her son for quite a long time, 
and not getting out of his  parent's bed until he is 10 years old.  
Streisands lines are very  pro breastfeeding, attachment parenting.

Saw it  12/24- this is what I remembered......the mom of about a 1 yr.old
has gone  out of town, and has left ebm for the baby to be fed by the
grandparents...  DeNiro states benefits of breast milk, and how wonderful
it is and doesn't  want the baby on a traditional nipple, so he invented
a breast that he  straps on to feed the baby with ebm.  I remember
thinking that it was  good information re: breast milk...a lot of jokes
around the whole thing  but never the less good correct info about
benefits and how important to  get breastmilk.
