ABSTRACT
This chapter describes how carefully observing a child's play and helping the parents to understand their child more fully enables the child to express feelings, hitherto repressed, which inhibited eating and drinking of their parents' and teachers' food. Breast and bottle are given by a mother together with her mental state, and her milk has approximately the same flavour. On the other hand, what changes at every feed is what the baby takes inside with his milk and this is what is going to create his way of "feeling". When a mother is breast-feeding her baby, her attunement to the baby fostered by her observing and trying to understand the way her baby takes her nipple and relates to the breast itself. Psychical quality is imparted to the channels of communication, the links with the child.
