>> What is the Righard movie?

Aahhh--the wonderful Righard movie!  I get that old let-down sensation just
thinking about it!!  It is the wonderful short video entitled *Delivery
Self-Attachment* by the Swedish researcher & pedi, Lennart Righard.  During
a study, the research team noticed that after 40 minutes or so, unmedicated
babies began to "crawl" up mom's belly,  using the stepping reflex, and
eventually attached to the breast and began nursing.  The video is footage
of three babies from the study.

[I have heard that when asked why babies do this, Dr.Righard replied (in a
lovely Swedish accent):  "Because the baby sees those chocolate-covered
mountains in the distance and says to himself, 'I must go there!'"]

If you haven't seen this movie, beg or borrow a copy from a lacto-colleague
today!!  (Or contact Geddes Productions at US (818)951-2809 for a copy.)

Cheers!
