Mother lipsmacking to her baby

I have been trying to find good examples of lipsmacking and finally ran across a video of this behavior between one of the new mothers and her baby.

I haven't seen much of this behavior at all in this troop, but it's entirely possible that it happens more often than known and people uploading video just aren't filming it or are editing it out.

I had reached out to a creator specifically mentioning to him that this behavior often occurs between mother and baby during the first 30 days of the baby's life and asked him to be on the lookout for it and if he could be kind enough to film it for us.

here is an example of a mother engaging in this behavior, but the baby isn't really fully engaged with the behavior so it isn't really as good an example as I had hoped to upload. But you can see how it begins with animated mouth movements and how the tongue is used in this behavior. Unfortunately, this video, like many of them, has music overlaying any natural sounds. The sound of lispsmacking is really interesting, and it's a shame we can't hear it.

I apologize for not being able to just cut out a small portion, but the behavior starts at around 12:50 in this video:
