I took the IBCLC Exam Review course by Jan Barger in May 2004 (and passed my
10 year boards).

One of her handouts on "Emotional, Language and Social Development" quoted
information by Heller, 1997:
  " Little or no colic found in Japan, Korea, or with Kung or Yequana
infants of Venezuela.
       Korean infants spend only 8.3% of time alone.
       American infants spend 67.5% of time alone.
       American mothers deliberately do not respond to 46% of crying
          episodes during infant's first three months."

It certainly doesn't say anything good about us does it?
