The Big Stretch – 1 hour

http://www.birthwork.com/Home.233.0.html

The Big Stretch is not your usual birth film. Rather than focusing just on images of women giving birth, film-maker Alieta Belle and midwife Jenny Blyth invited women to share their distilled wisdom about this major transformation: their hopes and fears, their joys and disappointments; the changes that they experienced in themselves and their bodies, and their advice for other women. The result is a unique and powerful collectiion of birthing wisdom and insights into the journey of birth and motherhood.

Baby Led Breastfeeding – 15 minutes

In Baby-Led Breastfeeding, we see mothers learning to breastfeed naturally−by letting their babies show them how. Human babies are already hardwired to seek out and find the breast. In this video we see just how babies can do it−when we get out of the babies' way.

"We don't have to make our babies learn to feed−we just allow them to follow their instincts to learn."
