I use the Chele Marmet video "breastfeeding your baby :  positioning" in
breastfeeding classes for parent education.

This video shows the cradle hold, and the clutch (football) hold, in detail.
It does not show the cross cradle hold nor the chin touch, nose away
(assymetrical)  latch, but it does show and emphasize good technique for
offering the breast and eliciting rooting with mouth wide open, and I find
this useful.

I've recieved feedback that parents "remembered the video" seen in  prenatal
classes and that it helped them in the early days postpartum.
However,  since I have found through my own experience that the assymetrical
latch works better (usually with cross cradle hold), I demonstrate these and
have the parents practice with dolls.

I haven't seen many of the other videos available but I have found that this
one is quite good and in combination with instructing the assymetrical latch
and cross cradle hold, it works well and parents retain much of what they
saw.
