That handout is WOW.

I have lately been telling moms that we don't really know why a baby wants 
to nurse at any particular time.  She may be moving and need energy; growing 
and need protein; hungry and need a full tummy; thirsty and need drink; 
insecure in the world after the intimacy of the womb and need a sense of 
safety; afraid and need comfort; in pain and need distraction and analgesia; 
or a bug may have crept into her from somewhere, and she may need an 
antibody quickly, to prevent an illness.  Or something else we don't know 
about yet.  I think it might help to mix the emotional with the technical?
