>>The baby swam up to the mother (up from underneath her) and kind of stuck
his "nose" at her "belly" at which point the video highlighted it and
labeled it "nursing."  This nursing lasted only briefly and then the baby
slowed down and swam behind the mother again.<<

If I recall correctly, the way it works with whales is that they eject their
milk into the water, and the nearby babe scoops it right in. I suppose it may
work the same way for the dolphins. Feel free to add or correct, anyone who
knows more! :-)
