Abstract

Desmond Morris, I'm afraid, is at it again, treating us like animals to achieve his own ends. In the published results of his recent keen observation of babies at breast (Babywatching, Jonathan Cape, 1992), we ought not to be surprised to discover that mother's milk is best and that the healthy baby will be the one whose needs are met immediately. Morris doesn't say that any other treatment will produce an increase in juvenile delinquency but, never fear, some of his mates will say it for him.
