  (14 reviews)
Best Price: $24.95 $14.18
Although Breastfeeding is a natural process, it is mostly a learned art. Obstacles are the norm, but it is the best start that a mother can give her new baby. Breastfeeding benefits both mothers and babies, it protects babies from disease, and women who have nursed have substantially lower rates of breast cancer. Like the other two video classes in this series, 'Laugh and Learn About Childbirth' and 'Laugh and Learn About Newborn Baby Care', 'Laugh and Learn About Breastfeeding' is a comprehensive, fun and entertaining way to learn everything you need to know to have a pleasant Breastfeeding experience. On her new DVD, Sheri Bayles, RN shares her experiences, gives tips and strategies to avoid Breastfeeding obstacles, explains latch on, holds and positions, especially for breastfeeding twins, pumping, diet, and setting up a schedule that let's you get a good night of sleep. Best of all, in her class you get to watch and learn with real live demonstrations of all the techniques.

informative and fun
By A1JVFQERJ0G36F on 2005-06-07
I was really nervous about the prospect of breastfeeding. Many of my friends were so frustrated that they gave up after a few weeks! I watched this video before I gave birth and again when I got home from the hospital. Within days my baby girl and I were in perfect harmony. It answered all my questions with humor and in terms I could understand. The demonstrations are great. They actually got a new mom to breastfeed on the camera and the close ups were really helpful, as well as all the different "holds". My husband watched it with me and was laughing too. Since then, I've bought it as a gift for two of my girlfriends and they loved it. Highly recommended!
Great Demonstrations

I was happy and excited by the prospect of breastfeeding my baby, then my girlfriends started telling me one failure story after another. I was depressed and researching formulas when my sister got me this DVD. The demonstrations are great, and by the time I finished watching it I knew I could do it! I'm happy to report success!
Great Basic DVD

If you own the Childbirth DVD with the same instructor, please don't be turned off in buying this one. She is a LOT less obnoxious and she is more staright to the point, without all the little wanna-be comedy routines.
This DVD was a fantastic, basic demonstration on how to breastfeed. Each chapter was clear and concise and not too long. I think I watched the whole thing in under an hour. The real-life demonstrations of mothers breastfeeding their babies was extremely helpful, as was the chapter on pumping.
Easy to follow
By A1WO6KDPKIPTMD on 2007-01-10
I found this dvd very easy to follow and well explained. It runs at a good pace and has a good sense of humor about it. I found it enjoyable and have gone back to reference material again.
Good ... could have more info
By A17DDRVXRQ7K9Y on 2007-05-08
Since I'm on bedrest, I couldn't make it to an in-person class. This was a solid substitute. I'm really glad I got it to see the positions for myself and get a few tips. Overall though, it's a pretty short lesson and could have included more. I'd supplement with a book or two to make sure you have enough information on hand.
One other note, I've got a childbirth/lamaze dvd with the same instructor and she is MUCH better in this one. I thought her sense of humor was a little too strong in the other video and the squealy voice got on my nerves. No problem with that here - a definite good thing.
- Very informative

I am a first time mom and this video is a very helpful resource for me. It tells anything you would want to know about breastfeeding. I definitely would recommend any buying if they are interested.
- too much laugh - less learned!
By A16EB9E9QZGGAU on 2007-01-09
When you buy this DVD, chances are that you are pregnant ... so: show me how this is done properly! I would have liked more hands-on. The theory is easy to follow, but this is not helping you in the real world. I would have also liked to hear about potential problems that you could face.
- One major complaint
By A2C79APRHMJ9IP on 2007-10-08
I reviewed this DVD in the hope of showing it to young mothers in a mentoring program. The instructor is obviously an expert and is very knowledgeable on the subject, however, 5 minutes into the video she uses the Lord's name in vain. She is referencing the pain you feel when the baby first latches on. The pain is real, but she says "Oh my G-d" to describe it. She also tells her audience not to drink a 1/5 of vodka if you want to co-sleep with your baby. I believe she was saying this in jest, but her crudeness made this video inappropriate to use with young mothers. It is a shame because I think she knows her subject well. I wish the editors of this video would have clued her in on the fact that what she said might offend.
- Entertaining & Informative
By A1MBPD2I8WY78K on 2007-11-14
This DVD shows various breastfeeding positions & gives a wealth of useful information. I would have preferred a little more in-depth information, but it is still well worth the time to watch this (especially if you are first-time parents). I purchased this & her newborn care DVD & found them both to be useful.
- Not many laughs and only limited learning
By A2TI7QNBLHVTBA on 2007-11-07
This video was informative enough, but it's brief, and really doesn't have anything I haven't seen on You Tube or other free sources. I was a little wary about the humor since the title is 'Learn and Laugh About Breastfeeding' after all, but Sheri Bayles is simply not funny, and at points it's painful to watch. She's clearly working hard to sell her schtick, but the purpose of the video is to get info on breastfeeding, not to allow an outlet for an obviously frustrated comedienne. She knows breastfeeding facts, and she'd do better to just give the information. Finally, it'd be a better video if they included more footage of real babies feeding, latching, etc., rather than focusing on the baby dolls and Sheri's endless banter from the couch.
