I have read this story from Meredith F. Small's book Our Babies, 
Ourselves (chapter 6 Food for thought, page 178). At first Small tells 
how she is visiting Diane Wiessinger's house and asks her why women have 
to be taught to breastfeed. For an answer Wiessinger offered story about 
female gorilla who has wrong nursing position until she observe 
breasfeeding humans.

Hope it isn't urban legend because I also used it for an example in my 
breastfeeding guide, published in Finnish about one moth ago. Must 
admit, it could be...

And now, when I first time write here something I want to say hi and 
thanks for amazing list. Full of knowledge and wisdom, fun and joy..and 
life beyond breastfeeding bubbles under. I can hear it!
