Actually, I find it's quite funny watching the older videos with families
because the voice-over *says* "nose and chin evenly to the breast" etc. (no
asymmetrical latch) but over and over again they *show* babies nursing with
beautiful asymmetrical latches!  So I say "ignore the words, watch that
baby" and narrate what is good about it.
I like the short Texas video on Infant Feeding Cues.  Don't remember if
Childbirth Graphics sells it -- I think they do.  No voiceover at all, good
pictures, brief, parents and staff relate to it well.  Hiccupping baby gets
a good laugh every time.
