For Antenatal Education

             

The antenatal period is an ideal time to provide mothers with vicarious learning opportunities - what they would have learned in a culture where successful breastfeeding was the norm.

Women in western cultures understand that breastfeeding is best for their baby but rarely see a newborn baby successfully attaching at the breast.

You can provide this vicarious experience by showing mothers good video footage of successful latching behaviours or by demonstrating those behaviours with a doll and your own body. 

Follow Me Mum 

“The class loved it… I particularly liked; the quality of the production – it is really excellent – very clear and easy to watch,  the cartoon graphics that… teach something that is usually difficult to describe…” more…                                                                                                              Julie Clarke – Calmbirth educator

 

In the immediate postpartum period - Resolve Breastfeeding Problems

 

Follow Me Mum can help mothers recognise and resolve positioning and attachment problems by identifying the step or steps they are having difficulty with while providing approriate modelling and explaination to help her effectively adjust her behaviour. 

The “mothers view” images model successful positioning and attachment behaviours, at a time when a lot of verbal information is difficult for a new mother. 

"Repeated modelling of successsful behaviours and breaking a complex process into easy steps have been shown to improve self-efficacy."  (Bandura A. 1977. Noel-Weiss J. 2006)

Repeat viewing of “Follow Me Mum” can help to build a mothers independence, confidence and successful experiences.

“[I] was about ready to give up, when a volunteer consultant lent me your video. The calm tone, reassuring message and very simple but clear diagrams helped me understand what countless other literature sources had failed to do. I must have watched the video ten times. A day later, my daughter and I were on our way to a great breastfeeding partnership.”  read more ...                   Emmanuelle 2009
