short-ish educational video

[Guest guest]

I teach breastfeeding and newborn care. I, too, show Starting out safe and

sound; must admit it isn't my favorite and also that I don't have an alternative

suggestion. I like that it shows a birth, not all the IVs, rather rough

handling of the baby, etc. OTOH, it's probably fairly realistic for what to

expect at their hospital birth. Like the moms' expressions, like the early

feeding. Gotta love those hairstyles! lol

I also use the Better Breastfeeding video. I like a lot about it, don't

absolutely love it. It's kind of traditional asymmetrical latch kind of stuff.

Generally good, just doesn't emphasize the your baby can do this, you have milk,

do lots of skin to skin, etc. that I like. I also use the Tina Smiley dvd,

which I also like but which is a little harder for some moms to get their heads

around.

I should probably that I teach these through a local health care organization so

curriculum was developed by a group, not by me. Classes are 2.5h.
