Wow! What a timely post! I would LOVE to see “What Babies Want.” I am getting really excited about the upcoming screening of the documentary “The Business of Being Born” here in my hometown. Have you seen it yet? I hear it is really good. I’m going to make an effort to see both these films. Great review. :)

I watched this video about 10 days before my daughter was born. I cried through most of it, it was so beautiful and touching. I agree that it should be required watching in birth preparation classes….

I hadn’t heard of this video before. My daughter was taken from us shortly after birth because of a possible infection and we had to fight to have her in my room to nurse – and no more than an hour at a time, then – and she spent the rest of the time in the NICU. It was a traumatic time but my belief in the importance of bonding made me fight for all of the one-on-one time we could get. I would love to get the NICU nurses to watch it; they seemed more focussed on medical solutions than natural aids.

Sounds like a great resource. As a doula, I am definitely going to get it, and then probably show it to everyone I know! Thanks for sharing. =)
