A baby is born with many instinctive abilities which enable the newborn to perform the 'Breast Crawl'. With the innate abilities the infant come into life like programmed computer chip with the set of instructions. It appears that young humans, like other baby mammals, know how to find their mother's breast (Klaus and Kennel, 2001). Breast Crawl is associated with a variety of sensory, central, motor and neuro-endocrine components, all directly or indirectly helping the baby to move and facilitate survival in the new world. The Breast Crawl was originally described in 1987 by Dr. Ann-Marie Widstrom, Dr. Anna-Berit Ransjo- Arvidson, Dr. Kyllike Christensson, Ms. Ann-Sofi Matthiesen, Dr.Jan Winberg and Dr. Kerstin Uvnas-Moberg from Karolina Institute (Sweden).

Abstract


A baby is born with many instinctive abilities which enable the newborn to perform the 'Breast Crawl'. With the innate abilities the infant come into life like programmed computer chip with the set of instructions. It appears that young humans, like other baby mammals, know how to find their mother's breast (Klaus and Kennel, 2001). Breast Crawl is associated with a variety of sensory, central, motor and neuro-endocrine components, all directly or indirectly helping the baby to move and facilitate survival in the new world. The Breast Crawl was originally described in 1987 by Dr. Ann-Marie Widstrom, Dr. Anna-Berit Ransjo- Arvidson, Dr. Kyllike Christensson, Ms. Ann-Sofi Matthiesen, Dr.Jan Winberg and Dr. Kerstin Uvnas-Moberg from Karolina Institute (Sweden).
