One video that shows this very well is the UNICEF video that I got to go with the 18 hr course. It contains 4 programs, one of which is called Breastfeeding-A Global Priority. A very powerful video as it shows a family in S. America and the effect of formula use on the family ( 18 month old who
can't walk, mom has another baby since and is pregnant again!) and cites statistics about effects in other countries from increased pregnancies/children per family in Kenya to percentage of annual family income spent on formula in S. American countries. A somewhat dated film some have complained
(I've had it for almost 10 years), nonetheless does a very effective job and most staff here found it to be an eye-opener. You can probably get the info for ordering from the UNICEF or BFHI website.
