What follows is an excerpt of a review of a BF video that was in a recent
AAFP journal:

"The Art of Successful Breastfeeding: A Guide for Health Professionals"
this teaching aid is for providing basic level instruction for professionals
about BF.  The photograpy is interesting but the 75 minute length may make
some professionals impatient.

There are four chapters 1. Preparing to BF, 2. Starting to BF, 3. Managing
common probelms. and 4. Growing with BF.  It covers everything from
initiation to weaning.

The "Ten Steps of Breastfeeding Success" are highlighted.  THis video can be
more useful in educational programs oriented toward making the changes in
institutions that will meet the criteria for the BFHI.

I have not seen this video but it sounds like it will fill a niche in some
places.  It sounds like it is not for LC's but more for nurses, doctors and
residents that haven't had much BF education.  If anybody has viewed this
video perhaps they can comment more on its' content.
