Follow Me Mum DVD PAL

The Follow Me Mum DVD PAL is designed to help mothers when latch-on is difficult. Very clear and easy to watch, Follow Me Mum demonstrates in simple steps how a mother can help her baby attach deeply for comfortable, effective breastfeeding. Additionally, Close up images & Clear, concise explanations model the fundamental stages of the natural process. Also, mothers can learn as nature intended – by watching other mothers who successfully perform each step of the natural latching process.

Animated Sequences show how:

• a baby takes a deep latch
• milk is removed
• to prevent nipple pain and damage

Presented in separate segments:

• Understanding Attachment
• How Baby Removes the Milk
• Understanding Sore and Damaged Nipples
• Understanding Baby’s Instinctive [Breastfeeding] Position
• Practical Steps to Good Attachment

For Antenatal Education

The antenatal period is ideal for providing mothers with vicarious learning opportunities what they would have learned in a culture where successful breastfeeding was the norm. Women in western cultures understand that breastfeeding is best for their baby but rarely see a newborn baby successfully attaching at the breast. You can provide this vicarious experience by showing mothers good video footage of successful latching behaviours. You can also demonstrate those behaviours with a doll and your own body.

In the immediate postpartum period – Resolve Breastfeeding Problems

Follow Me Mum can help mothers recognise and resolve positioning and attachment problems by identifying the steps they are having difficulty with while providing appropriate modelling and explanation to help her effectively adjust her behaviour.
