Breastfeeding: A Guide to Successful Positioning

Synopsis: The breastfeeding technique featured in this film is based on a physiological approach of helping mothers overcome difficult breastfeeding problems and has evolved through clinical experience. It shows the most efficient way for a baby to feed, and by teaching the basic principles of good positioning, most problems can be prevented. Places an emphasis on mothers doing the attachment themselves from the early days of baby’s life. The video demonstrates the most efficient way of holding and attaching the baby, that is, supporting the baby’s body and neck with the hand of the opposite side to the breast, and shows some variations, for example, the underarm (twin hold) position and lying down to breastfeed. The video focuses on the mothers and babies getting breastfeeding right on their own, with no professionals in evidence.
