I don't think I have seen this actual video being discussed, but the one 
that came out several years ago and sold by Kitty Franz is similar in that 
all the mother does is keep the baby from falling off her.  When showing it, 
I always preceded it with a comment like, "The mother is keeping hands off 
for the purpose of the video to show that baby CAN self attach.  Of course, 
a mother will likely be a little more hands on and interacting with the baby 
(as long as she doesn't try to do it for him), but by seeing what a baby can 
do by itself should make us think twice about being too much 'hands on'".
I have been thinking about the examples we have of truly physiological birth 
and unfortunately they are hard to come by in humans in today's world.  But 
if you think about the mammals most closely resembling us, the apes (and I 
can't believe that the addition of a soul or even higher intellect 
eliminates the biological aspect of humans) I have never seen a film or 
picture of ape mothers shaping their breast or doing anything more than 
holding the infant in the right location and letting the baby self feed! 
Maybe we should take a lesson from them.
