<< I find this comment VERY interesting.  If you watch films of natural

 new Suzanne Arms video) and you watch very carefully, many mothers do NOT
 look at their baby immediately after birth.  In fact, the primary expression
 on their faces seems to be "Hallaluyeah, it's over, and I'm still alive"
 rather than "Oh look, here's the baby."   >>


I always find it funny in the Medela video, the MD is holding the baby upside
down, the baby is naked and covered with birth "goo" and everyone is saying
"oh he looks just like Dad"!!
