Worth watching for the demonstrations alone by S. Teichner  5 Stars
September 21, 2009
Jessica Solomon's breastfeeding DVD is packed with tips, answers to both common and uncommon questions, and remarkable close-up demonstrations. As a mother of five children with over nine years of breastfeeding experience, Jessica is well qualified to provide any new mother with the basic information and tips she'll need to successfully breast-feed her baby.
The demonstrations are impressive. Jessica performs all the holds, the latch and unlatch, and some other techniques (e.g. using a nipple shield) with her adorable baby daughter Hannah. Her breast pump demonstration is very informative, especially the part on properly fitting the flange, and she follows that with a hand expressing demonstration. The unique way she instructs feels like you're casually sitting with a girl friend as she helps you learn how to nurse your baby with ease.

Awesome Video!!! by Angela Bash (Ohio) 5 Stars
September 18, 2009
"Jessica, thank you so much for creating an instructional breastfeeding video in such an exquisite manner. Its beauty literally brought me to tears. Your willingness to allow others a brief glimpse into your nursing relationship with your daughters lends credence to the naturalness of the breastfeeding experience for mother and child. I wish I had access to something like Breastfeeding: Mother-to-Mother years ago when I gave birth to my first child and had to muddle through the learning to nurse process on my own, as the 'real-time' demonstrations of the different techniques and processes would have been tremendously helpful.
"I will definitely recommend Breastfeeding: Mother-to-Mother to pregnant friends and family members both for the wealth and quality of the information contained therein as well as for the openness and sincerity in which the information was portrayed. I foresee this video blessing and enriching the lives of so many women and their babies. I also guarantee that my own daughter as well as my future daughter-in-laws will be seeing, no, experiencing Breastfeeding: Mother-to-Mother many, many times."

A must have for new mothers who want to breastfeed by Cara Faus (Montana) 5 Stars
September 05, 2009
A wonderful introduction to breastfeeding, Jessica covers common issues that first-time moms need to know, such as stimulating the rooting reflex, how to handle oversupply, nursing in different positions for different reasons, scheduling vs not, tandem nursing, and more. Her experience as a mom of 5, and with babies born early or small, gives well-rounded advice you can trust. Perfect for moms who want to make God's best feeding method work for their baby.

Not The Typical Sterile Breastfeeding Advice Video! by Theresa S. Mcallister (Oregon, United States) 5 Stars
August 12, 2009
As a long time breastfeeding mother myself, I had forgotten how fearful I had been during my first pregnancy that I wouldn't be able to nurse my baby. I'd forgotten how I stared down at my nipple and wondered 'Where does the milk come out?' This video answers that question and many more with actual video of a woman breastfeeding her babies. The section on using a breast pump is priceless.
Breastfeeding Mother-To-Mother covers the entire breastfeeding relationship from getting started with a newborn, to nursing a toddler, to gentle weaning, along with all of the difficulties that can be encountered in between. Sound tips and advise from a mother who has been there.
This is a 'must see' for all women considering nursing a baby as well as for those having problems in an existing breastfeeding relationship and for those who assist other women with nursing. What you won't find here is another cold hospital environment with a doctor or lactation consultant roughly manipulating the breast of a woman trying to breastfeed.
From Jessica's heart we get the message that 'breastfeeding is wonderful for you and your baby.' And also that 'You CAN successfully breastfeed your baby, in spite of problems that may arise.' Then she gives the help needed to get over breastfeeding hurdles.

Bought this for a friend by R. Galati (Bronx, NY USA) 5 Stars
July 13, 2009
I purchased this video when it was available as a download on the
filmmaker's website, and gave it to a friend who was expecting her first
baby. Naturally, before I gave it as a gift, I wanted to watch it
myself. My concern was that this breastfeeding DVD would be like others
I've seen, dogmatic and condescending. What I saw instead was an
experienced young mother (5 children!) sharing her knowledge about
breastfeeding in a unique and very personal way. She breast-feeds and
demonstrates virtually everything she discusses throughout the video
while she is talking. I was impressed, to say the least. Now I'm pleased
to see this video available for sale as a breastfeeding DVD on Amazon,
which makes it more convenient for me to give it as a gift in the future.
