The same company has another one called "Breastfeeding" ("Amming" in Norwegian) that has 23 short films with advice on different nursing things, like different latch positions, etc. That one's available in Norwegian and English. It's also a Norwegian company, so I think it was filmed in Norway, but the language is similar to Swedish.<br /><br />The videos (according to the price on the website) are about 199 Norwegian Krone, which is about 31 USD. That's a pretty good price--I think I'll have to order a couple of those, too!<br /><br />I think the Breast is Best video would actually be a good one to show to healthcare professionals, nurses, etc. Frequently, when you want to do something outside the "norm" with your birth, they deny you just because it's so different. It's like they can't wrap their heads around it. I remember asking my doctor repeatedly to let me hold my baby after my c/s (he was "too cold" but otherwise healthy) and being refused. I told him that my son would warm up faster on my chest, but he couldn't understand it. It seems to simple, but he just couldn't figure out how that would work. A video like this, showing the skin-to-skin contact, the co-sleeping, and the struggling that a newborn goes through to find the nipple, might be beneficial for the demonstration purposes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741036541041672560.post-25441892053486756782010-06-09T15:48:35.681-04:002010-06-09T15:48:35.681-04:00Curious as to why they dry the baby before skin to...Curious as to why they dry the baby before skin to skin<br /><br />My eldest was skin to skin with Daddy after an initial cuddle with me when I had PPH following her birth - she was calm, contented and most importantly it gave him something to do whilst I was helped<br /><br />I adore the co-sleeping bit and its focus on it being practical and loving - wonderfulMuddling Alonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04702217530704657676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741036541041672560.post-80751429119074451722010-06-07T18:52:17.219-04:002010-06-07T18:52:17.219-04:00I wish I would have seen this before my son was bo...I wish I would have seen this before my son was born. We had an emergency c/s and I think if my husband and I had seen this, he would have been doing skin to skin NICU.

I feel like a similar movie made in this country would feel much more "educational" - read, "you don't know how to do this so we'll tell you".
