This review is from: Breastfeeding: How-To (DVD)

This is a great breastfeeding video. I was a little unsure about it but when I recieved it I popped it in and it was a great video. It showed actual video of women breastfeeding. it covers everything you can think of in good detail and even has a section for Fathers-to-be and what they can do to help plus it gives contact information for more information and help in breastfeeding... It shows several different ways to do things as well. A great video for anyone looking for a overveiw of everything you would want to know about breastfeeding.... And it is very positive giving you confidence almost to the point that you look forward to breaast feeding.

This review is from: Breastfeeding: How-To (DVD)

My wife and I used this video at the recommendation of our birth educator. Because we were having twins we were very concerned about our ability to properly breastfeed. This program inspired us both and gave us the confidence and knowledge to get over our fears and stick with our breastfeeding plan. We believe our children are healthier as a result.

This review is from: Breastfeeding: How-To (DVD)

This How-To film helped me as a new parent in how to handle the difficulty and newness of newborn breastfeeding. It also helped me with information for nursing as my baby got older too. I don't know what I would have done without it!
