Actually, Amy, both DVDs showed parents enjoying their babies, i.e. mothers
enjoying feeding and other interaction and fathers doing other things to
enjoy their babies. No strife was portrayed, though - wisely - mothers
were reminded that, as with many things, breastfeeding is a learning process
and that support is available.

These sound great! I wish they'd titled the first one, "Starting Out: Tips
for ENJOYING the early days with your baby," though. Using the word
'survival' makes it sound tough and awful...and frames the scene for the
parents to get the message that they should be struggling. It'd be nice to
see some encouragement and to see the neonatal period framed as one of
enjoyment and learning, not strife and 'survival.'
