Biological Nurturing® Laid Back Breastfeeding DVD. Suzanne Colson, $75.00

This DVD uses unique and compelling video clips from the 54 mother-baby pairs studied to show the versatility of mother/baby breastfeeding positions whose interactions release innate behaviours stimulating latch and sustaining milk transfer. The laid back positions are contrasted with the taught upright positions especially in those mothers where the baby reflex cues hindered latch.  There are 2 menus: the principle programme explains the mechanisms of biological nurturing and the second menu introduces baby reflex cues and some mother-led strategies to use when any difficulties are encountered. The price includes copyright clearance for personal information, libraries and all teaching including students, colleagues in hospital and community, continuing professional development and parent education.

Biological Nurturing®: Laid-Back Breastfeeding for Mothers DVD. Suzanne Colson, Kittie Franz & Nancy Mohrbacher, $51.95 (28 minutes)

This DVD introduces laid-back positions that help mothers to breastfeed in greater comfort and enjoy their babies more. The DVD shows ethnically diverse mothers and babies in a variety of settings: a delivery room, a postpartum hospital room after a cesarean birth, at home in bed, on a couch, in different chairs, and in an outdoor café. Each environment illustrates a different aspect of how Biological Nurturing makes early mothering and breastfeeding easier and more satisfying. These positions work in harmony with gravity to reduce the "work" of breastfeeding, making it easier to let baby nurse as long as he needs to, while mother achieves complete relaxation and greater oxytocin release.

For mothers, lactation consultants, nurses, midwives, childbirth educators, and others who work with breastfeeding mothers.

Delivery Self-Attachment. Lennart Righard, $29.95

This remarkable DVD depicts a newborn's ability at birth to crawl up to a breast and attach himself unassisted.

Dr. Lennart Righard's now famous study looked at two groups of babies – from medicated and unmedicated births. Observations showed that babies placed skin-on-skin immediately after an unmedicated birth, will almost all find their way to the breast unassisted and latch on to the breast without help.

This six-minute DVD is a must for hospital staff in-service and is a wonderful adjunct for training LDRP units. As part of a prenatal breastfeeding or childbirth education class, this DVD will help parents to consider their birth options and to understand the possible effects of common birthing practices on the newborn.

Dr. Jack Newman’s Visual Guide to Breastfeeding with Dr. Jack Newman & Edith Kernerman. $29.95 (DVD format, 45 minutes)

Many people don't know what a baby looks like at the breast or how to determine if the infant has a good latch. This DVD is designed to give clear, visual guidance for new mothers and professionals alike. A wonderful resource, Dr. Jack Newman's Visual Guide to Breastfeeding covers a number of breastfeeding concerns, including:

• How to get the baby to latch
• Is the baby getting enough milk?
• Avoiding sore nipples
• Colicky babies
• Increasing baby's milk intake
• Using lactation aids
• Risks of formula feeding

For a mother, breastfeeding is a learned behavior, but for her baby, breastfeeding is instinctive. Babies instinctively search for the breast by throwing the head back and thrusting the chin and mouth forward. They need to be brought to the breast in this position, where the mouth opens wide, the tongue drops forward and baby is ready to take a good mouthful of breast. Follow Me Mum is designed to help mothers:

• understand how breastfeeding works
• learn how to work with their baby's instinctive behavior
• enjoy their breastfeeding experience
