Normal breastfeeding: infant management (1935), pt 1 of 3

An English instructional film looking at all aspects of breast feeding. Antenatal welfare and preparation is advised - the importance of good diet (sample meals are shown by a midwife) and the clinical examination of the breasts are encouraged. Postnatal management begins in hospital with the establishment of lactation during the 'Lying In' period; the importance of hygiene around the nipple is encouraged. Shots then include the mother and baby at home - we see the preparation of the cot, nappy changing, the use of the potty and the correct way to breast feed. The double breast feeding of twins is also shown. 3 parts. Find out more: http://catalogue.wellcomelibrary.org/record=b1672622~S3
