The deed accomplished, all goes well until his encounter with a strikingly theatrical psychiatrist (Viveca Lindfors) who hints as tactfully as possible that Jeff's brainstorm was basically unsound. Any competent script doctor...

It helps protect the baby from such assorted ills as colic, diaper rash, gastrointestinal disorders, allergies and the common cold. Breast feeding, say some doctors, even wards off emotional disturbances later in life. And there are valuable side effects for the mother...
