Breastfeeding: Mother-to-Mother
From WAHM BAM, LLC
In this informative video, Jessica Solomon, a mother of five, shares the knowledge she gained from over 9 years of continuous breastfeeding experience. She covers:
Not The Typical Sterile Breastfeeding Advice Video! As a long time breastfeeding mother myself, I had forgotten how fearful I had been during my first pregnancy that I wouldn't be able to nurse my baby. I'd forgotten how I stared down at my nipple and wondered 'Where does the milk come out?' This video answers that question and many more with actual video of a woman breastfeeding her babies. The section on using a breast pump is priceless. Breastfeeding Mother-To-Mother covers the entire breastfeeding relationship from getting started with a newborn, to nursing a toddler, to gentle weaning, along with all of the difficulties that can be encountered in between. Sound tips and advise from a mother who has been there. This is a 'must see' for all women considering nursing a baby as well as for those having problems in an existing breastfeeding relationship and for those who assist other women with nursing. What you won't find here is another cold hospital environment with a doctor or lactation consultant roughly manipulating the breast of a woman trying to breastfeed. From Jessica's heart we get the message that 'breastfeeding is wonderful for you and your baby.' And also that 'You CAN successfully breastfeed your baby, in spite of problems that may arise.' Then she gives the help needed to get over breastfeeding hurdles. Bought this for a friend I purchased this video when it was available as a download on the filmmaker's website, and gave it to a friend who was expecting her first baby. Naturally, before I gave it as a gift, I wanted to watch it myself. My concern was that this breastfeeding DVD would be like others I've seen, dogmatic and condescending. What I saw instead was an experienced young mother (5 children!) sharing her knowledge about breastfeeding in a unique and very personal way. She breast-feeds and demonstrates virtually everything she discusses throughout the video while she is talking. I was impressed, to say the least. Now I'm pleased to see this video available for sale as a breastfeeding DVD on Amazon, which makes it more convenient for me to give it as a gift in the future. A must have for new mothers who want to breastfeed A wonderful introduction to breastfeeding, Jessica covers common issues that first-time moms need to know, such as stimulating the rooting reflex, how to handle oversupply, nursing in different positions for different reasons, scheduling vs not, tandem nursing, and more. Her experience as a mom of 5, and with babies born early or small, gives well-rounded advice you can trust. Perfect for moms who want to make God's best feeding method work for their baby.
