Bonnie,

I have been showing, "Follow Me Mum" by Rebecca Glover for the past several
years at my breastfeeding class.  I believe it shows a latch technique that
affords the deepest latch of any I've seen.  It does a good job of
explaining the technique as well as some easy to understand cartoon
graphics which show the difference between a deep latch and a shallow
latch, illustrating why a shallow latch will make the tip of the nipple
sore. The latch is demonstrated several times with real (albeit not
newborn) babies.  Parents say they like the video.  I also show a snippet
of a self-latching baby in a video done by Nils (can't recall his last
name...Swedish, though).

Hope this helps.
