Over the years Nursing Mothers Counsel has developed and published several helpful pamphlets that we want to share with any mother as she endeavors to breast feed her child. These pamphlets are written by nursing mothers, for nursing mothers. We hope you find them useful. Please let us know if there is a subject you'd like us to write about. We will add to this list as soon as possible.

NMC Mini-movies

Sometimes pictures are worth thousands of words.  We hope these "mini-movies" (less than 10 seconds long)  will be helpful.  The files are in mpg format and can be played with most current media players such as QuickTime, RealOne Player, and Windows Media Player.

bullet Not "latched on" well enough - Example 1 (doesn't get far enough onto the nipple) [553 KB file]
bullet Not "latched on" well enough - Example 2  (tip only in infant's mouth) [674 KB file]
bullet Wide mouth, good start [55 KB file]
