This is in regard to the Oprah video.  Our hospital has just started
disributing them to new parents.  I watched it with a critical eye because I
was nervous too.  It's a good video in that it shows a lot of father
involvement and says how important that involvment is.  There are a lot of
mothers shown breastfeeding and some bottlefeeding.  The emphasis is on ways
to interact and stimulate your baby's growth by creating a loving and
interactive environment.  They missed the boat by not coming out and saying
what an important role breastfeeding has in that development.  It was more
like however you feed your baby.......
