I do not see remedial co-bathing as reliving the birth itself, but as a 'reliving'
of the first natural latching-on, as described by Righard in the Lancetin 1990 and
in his video.

Here, the baby crawls to the breast and latches on by itself when put on the tummy
rigth after birth. This takes about 40-50 minutes. (20 minutes rest, 30 minutus to
crawl to the breast and to latch on).
