Maybe I'm the only one here who found this a bit strange and awful for the baby? I watched this when it was first posted up and didn't write anything, but coming across it again, I can't help myself.
What I think of when I watch it is that it looks like something that would need to occur in nature when the mother has died during birth - a survival instinct kind of thing- baby needing to get to the milk because there's no one else there to help her. Yes, it is definitely amazing, but in my opinion a horrible thing to get the baby to do straight after birth. We have arms to help this happen - yes I agree with skin to skin and baby nuzzling to find attachment, but I can't believe the amount of energy expended already for the baby in getting through the birth canal and then you want them to crawl up your chest because you find it beautiful and amazing? I don't know, I obviously don't get it, but it seems a little selfish to me.
