Hi Diane, of course, you KNOW what I think.  The baby's head and feet are both touching cloth, not mother's skin, while she is doing her crawl--that doesn't help either.  I actually liked the fact that they preserved the mother's anonymity by pixeling her face because I'm pretty certain they didn't have the permission of this modest Indian woman to put this out for public broadcast.  Violation of her rights.  The one thing that I did appreciate is the fact that the baby appears to be fully conscious (not stoned on drugs) and it's a good demo of the abilities of the conscious infant.  I'll have to get permission from the mom who just gave birth to her 6th that I told you about because they videotaped the post partum and she and her baby figured out breastfeeding somewhere in there with no help from me.
