    Many breastfeeding problems are due to latching - here's lots of clips!

    This is aimed at health professionals but some great info and you can see a woman receive support and tips on latching her bub after she still couldn't get a good latch after watching a DVD.

    I have to say that this was an excellent video, especially with the fact that the lady she was demo'ing on wasn't small in the breast department. I will be sure to watch this again next week. Thank you for sharing

    Also look up videos of Baby Led Attachment. Baby can often do it way better if you give the the opportunity.
