This isn't human lactation, but one of the sweetest mother and baby movies I
have ever seen.
It's a documentary that was released last year called The Weeping Camel
It takes place in the Nomands. It deplicts a family that raise camels and
goats. The camels start to have their babies and one camel has a very
difficult birth and refuses to nurse her baby. The family tries to make her
do it. Even tying her leg together so the baby can nurse without her
walking away. Nothing works. In the meantime, they milk her and feed the
little camel with a horn, if I remember right. So, they send for the
violinist, which seems to be the custom. The violinist comes and plays for
the mother camel, while the mother of the family sings along and pets the
camel at the same time. I cried. I won't tell you how it ends.....
there is a lot of nice stuff in it about the family that I enjoyed as well.
