I do use it in my classes, though, but I've manipulated it with a video-making program to have the crowd out and just focus on the baby crawling and searching for the breast. I do talk about the crowds and the handling and the mother being just an object in the room. I really do think it is good to see a baby find the breast himself an latch on to it, just to show he can. That really no assistance is needed.
