I frequently show the Breastcrawl video to prenatal clients.  I explain
that we do things a bit differently in my part of the world, that most
mothers help the baby a bit but that healthy babies are the same
wherever they are born.   Everyone oohs and aahs and is quite amazed at
what their child can do.   I have no qualms at all about showing to a
non-professional audience and I do turn off the sound and do a voice
over myself.   Fabulous video.!!.   Eileen
