We have just released 8 new videos on breastfeeding. This set of videos has been developed for health workers so that they can learn about breastfeeding best practices, how to better observe mothers breastfeeding as well as manage common breastfeeding problems. The goal of these videos is to help health workers guide mothers so they are more effective and confident with breastfeeding with the aim of enabling more mothers to exclusively breastfeed until 6 months of age.

The series includes Early initiation of breastfeeding, Expressing and storing breast milk, Breastfeeding attachment, Breastfeeding positions, Helping a breastfeeding mother, Not enough milk, Nipple pain and Breast pain.

The videos can be viewed on-line as well as downloaded free-of-charge in 5 different sizes for use in workshops and on various mobile devices. They will be narrated in French, Spanish and Swahili and we have a similar set for mothers coming soon.
