There was actually an article in Pediatrics several years ago that said
this very thing -- 17 years to put research into practice -- so that number
actually comes from somewhere.
I think about the work done by Anne Marie Widstrom and Lennart Righard
about babies being able to self attach -- 1990 -- the video that was done
about babies crawling to the breast (circa 1994) in the delivery room....and
yet we really didn't pay much attention to it until Suzanne Colson did her
work on biological nurturing in 2008. Though Tina Smillie had that lovely
video out on The Mother Baby Dance earlier than that. But look how long that
has taken!!
