Kittie Frantz, RN, CPNP-PC
Film is available in Digital English format only
This Kittie Frantz, RN, CPNP-PC film shows two mothers laid back sitting in a chair.

One of them holds on to mom's hair as he goes, which is so sweet. It is interesting to see the 45 degree angle the babies position their bodies for breastfeeding! Moms love this film and can't wait to see their babies do it too.
