hi,
i have shown this video a lot of times, in both my  lamaze classes and when i 
lectured to nursing students. i even showed it when i  gave a lecture to 
pediatric residents. i have never had a negative response to  it. i think it is a 
valuable tool.

<<<<<<Hi, everyone

I teach newborn care classes  at a local hospital.  I've been showing 
Delivery Self_Attachment in it  and the families HATE the video.  They 
are very critical of it, saying  the sample size was too small, the 
study is too old, the medications aren't  current, what difference 
does it make if the baby can't crawl up the breast,  etc.

I preface the video by saying this is a great video that shows what  
babies are capable of right after birth and the importance of skin to  
skin. I also say that by showing this video I'm not advocating for 
them  to make specific choices for their births, but that they do need 
to take  both the mom and the baby into consideration when making 
these  choices.  If they have concerns after the video, I answer their  
questions with research-based info.

For those of you who show this  video to patients, how do they react 
to it? And do you have any suggestions  of how I can make them see 
this in a more positive  light?
