I have used Injoy's 14 Steps to Better Breastfeeding, which I liked 
because it had a nice section on what dads/partners could do to help 
with breastfeeding.  I didn't like the footage of the mom latching on 
however, so I always felt I had to qualify that section of the video.

I just bought a copy of the Real Deal on Breastfeeding, which was 
discussed here a few weeks ago.  I really like this video because 
it's moms talking to other moms (and it stresses how important that 
connection is) and it has good footage of latching on.  I wish it 
addressed the role of the partners/dads more, but there is one mom 
who talks about how BF was a family thing for all of them (she talks 
about how the dad cried when their baby weaned).  There is one mom in 
the video that I find rather annoying, especially since she made 
"moo" comments about pumping at work, but it's a small section of 
footage.  I've shown it in the last two classes I taught and asked 
the families about it after the showing and they all had positive 
things to say about the video.  IT's also nice that this is a cheap 
video ($20), which is hard to come by!

I like Follow Me Mum, which was recently also discussed here, but I 
think it's too long to in a prenatal class.
