Last month I reposted on Facebook a lovely silly little video that had nothing 
to do with breastfeeding, where a man asked random strangers to carry him, bit 
by bit, across Manhattan Island. His conclusion was that it was EXHAUSTING to be 
handled by strangers, even well-meant, kindly strangers, one after the other!

Imagine how much worse it would be for a baby, with no control, no power to call 
for a break, or a halt, no understanding of the process, no way to gauge when or 
how to get his needs met,  no reserve of resources, and so on. In other words, 
to be a newborn baby, being passed along from person to person, when all one 
wants is to be at mom's breast.

I recommend everyone try to find that video! Perhaps someone knows the name of 
it.
