She probably didn't know it - one of those people who "talks" with her
hands - if you know what I mean - literally and figuratively.
And I agree that helping sometimes from mom's perspective and having baby
latch well does imprint the right idea to mom and baby.  When I've been in
that situation I always try to wait around to be sure they can do it the
next time without any help.  Sincerely, Pat in SNJ
