Jul 20, 2008 - AWESOME! I had heard about this video but never seen it. I wish I had done this with my babies. It's amazing how perfectly coordinated Baby is with Mom and how she knows exactly where to go entirely without prompting. So perfect. :)

Jul 20, 2008 - Institute for teh development of human potential advocates letting all babies crawl to the breast, because it makes them smarter and more likely to find solutions to their own problems. It also makes them learn to crawl faster. cool video, except, why were all those people all around her- what about privacy? I watched it with no sound, maybe they explained- i wouldn't want to be all naked in that environment, with all those strange men around.

Jul 20, 2008 - They were strange to you, but prob. not to the mother. I am a "more the merrier" kind of birther (not strangers). I had mom, husband, 2 midwives, birth asst. and invited my sis and SIL . This time (Jan. 08) all that + will have a doula, our 10yr old and our 3yr old + someone to watch the 3yr old. We are also discussing prof. photos because last time everyone was too busy helping me. Heh.

Jul 20, 2008 - This is a great video, I also let my daughter breastfeed about 20 minutes after her birth. While she didn't eat much, it did encourage her to nurse on and off all day, which was great.

Jul 20, 2008 - Delivery and first contact are times during which a mother and infant need privacy. Hence nobody apart from the minimum necessary health personnel, the child's father and / or a close female relative should be present in these emotional and private moments.The video was taken during one of our training workshop conducted for 30 delegates. We had allowed a few participants in the labour room, to learn the technique of Breast Crawl. The issue was discussed earlier with the mother and her family.

Jul 20, 2008 - When I first saw the 'breast crawl' video it was when I was 13 and learning about infant massage. I think all new mothers should be shown this or similar videos as it really awakens them to their babies instincts. Awesome.

Lanalunera Says:

Jul 20, 2008 - This video is absolutely beautiful. I love to breastfeed my baby boy and with this video I'm sure that the greatest decision of a mother is to give her baby the opportunity of that experience, not the breast crawl per se, the breastfeeding.

hettybobcat Says:

Jul 20, 2008 - I kind of feel a little shocked and saddened when I hear about able mothers choosing not to breast feed. It is really the best thing for the baby, it's helpful to the mother in shedding pregnancy pounds, reducing bleeding, and shrinking the uterus, and it's free and easy.

RhiannonNostylluan Says:

Jul 20, 2008 - What a beautiful video! I breastfed both my children and read about the breast crawl when I was pregnant with my first. Thank you for sharing.

gueraranchera Says:

Jul 20, 2008 - This video was wonderful! It should be required viewing for all new mums. Western women too are in desparate need of information like this to get the message out that breatfeeding is proper and best, to eradicate this idiotic fallacy that breatfeeding is dirty or low-class. I breastfed all three of my children, butI wish I knew about the breast crawl. What a beautiful moment! I also would emphasize that the sooner the baby is held, massaged and breastfed, the better for baby.

gueraranchera Says:

Jul 20, 2008 - Bravo Bravo Bravo!

Jul 20, 2008 - Breastfeeding is highest class and finest point a woman can reach. of being more than a mother....a mommy!God Bless in a most special way all mothers that breastfeed (real love) their children.

imstoodnexttoawanker Says:

Jul 20, 2008 - I am a midwife and I am always trying to get mums to do this with babies, those who really want to breast feed are very enthusiastic but some new mums are not committed because they dont have the time to do this, it is such a shame tho as it is fantastic for bonding, keeping the baby warm and calm, there is no need for screeming babies if mums put babies on the chest and stroke them gently down the back

toocute1983 Says:

Jul 20, 2008 - I wish I had been able to do this with my baby girl. I ended up with an emergency C-Section so was out for like five or six hours (Demerol makes me very, very odd). Hopefully with my next one I can have a VBAC and get to have that experience. Though my little girl nursed like a pro.
