Viewer's discretion: Those people who are not okay with breastfeeding breasts on blogs, please do not view the video.. If you view the video, please do not kpkb on my tagbox as it will only makes you looks like a fool.. ThankQ!
Had always wanted to share this videos with breastfeeding moms and mom-to-be(s) as I had benefited greatly from the videos.. The doctor in this video is Dr. Jack Newman and the original source of this videos is from http://www.thebirthden.com/Newman.html
The position of latching in this video shown is named the 'Asymmetrical Latch'.. I had tried this and have been using this position to get Darrielle to latch on.. It worked very well with me and Darrielle.. Strongly recommend others to try this position!
Note the conversation of Dr. Jack Newman as he talks about how hugh the damage(to sucessful breastfeeding) is when newborns were introduced to bottle in the early weeks.. Method of 'compression' is shown.. It helps baby gets to milk more easily.. It really works as when I do that, I can hear and see Darrielle swallowing swallowing alot.. Its helpful for the first few days after birth when milk is little, compression helps baby gets more colostrum.. When the real milk comes in, using compression helps baby gets to the fat rich hindmilk, which is important for baby's weight gain and makes baby feels fuller for longer..
Shows why is it important that baby's mouth is wide open to take in as much of the areola as possible when feeding.. ;)
And lastly, just wan to share a very amazing video on breastfeed initiation.. Showing how nature means of breastfeeding, that a newborn is capable of searching for the nipple for food through senses of smell, sight, touch.. Enjoy!

Certain is it that there is no kind of affection so purely angelic as of a father to a daughter.
In love to our wives there is desire; to our sons, ambition;
but to our daughters there is something which there are no words to express.

What I wanted most for my daughter was that she be able to soar confidently in her own sky, whatever that may be.

"When we trust the makers of baby formula more than we do our own ability to nourish our babies, we lose a chance to claim an aspect of our power as women. Thinking that baby formula is as good as breast milk is believing that thirty years of technology is superior to three million years of nature's evolution. Countless women have regained trust in their bodies through nursing their children, even if they weren't sure at first that they could do it. It is an act of female power, and I think of it as feminism in its purest form."

If a multinational company developed a product that was a nutritionally balanced and delicious food, a wonder drug that both prevented and treated disease, cost almost nothing to produce and could be delivered in quantities controlled by the consumers' needs, the very announcement of their find would send their shares rocketing to the top of the stock market. The scientists who developed the product would win prizes and the wealth and influence of everyone involved would increase dramatically. Women have been producing such a miraculous substance, breastmilk, since the beginning of human existence. ----- Gabrielle Palmer
