**WINNER: random.org #42, congrats Francine! Winner has been emailed and has 48 hours to respond before a new winner is chosen. Thanks to all who entered and thanks again to My Baby Experts and Shari Criso!**
Shari Criso at My Baby Experts, mother of 2, introduces the Criso Method for breastfeeding. Shari started as a nurse, to a nurse midwife, to a board certified lactation consultant. In 2001, Shari and her husband opened the Birth Boutique in NJ to provide pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding products for moms. Shari started offering classes, bra fitting services, and a gift registry service. Her classes were often full with a waiting list so… they created a DVD of the class! The DVD, Simply Breastfeeding, is divided into the following chapters for easy access:
Introduction
What Are Your Breastfeeding Goals?
Breastfeeding Benefits
Breastmilk: The Real Deal
Breastfeeding Techniques
Getting a Good Latch
Preventing Sore Nipples
Engorgement
Is My Baby Getting Enough?
Hindmilk & Foremilk
Introducing the Bottle
Growth Spurts
Breastfeeding Essentials
Conclusion
Simply Breastfeeding is about 1.5 hours long and each purchase comes with a downloadable workbook with reminders and tips–great for your hospital bag!
Breastfeeding doesn’t just come to you, it’s a learned skill–get help, take a class, talk to a lactation consultant. Watch this DVD! Seriously… I didn’t take a breastfeeding class, I didn’t read any books… I figured it would just come to me. I was wrong. Breastfeeding really is hard work! One of the hardest things I’ve done. If done incorrectly, it can cause a LOT of pain and damage to your breasts–not to mention lack of breastmilk to your baby! This DVD is my official go-to guide now. It talks about EVERYTHING you need to know. If I come up with a question, I forward to the right chapter, and wallah- problem solved. I HIGHLY recommend this DVD to every breastfeeding mom. I even saw the lactation consultant in person at my hospital and it was absolutely useless compared to this DVD. For real. (Not at all saying all lactation consultants will be this way–they are wonderful resources–just not in my experience).
Also, if you’re on the fence about breastfeeding and can’t decide if you should do it, this DVD will help you decide. It goes through benefits to you and to baby, setting goals and reaching them, and learning step by step.
You can buy Shari’s DVD for $29.99 or.. WIN here!

I love that she has a DVD set for working moms. I can only imagine how hard it is to work while breastfeeding and find time and motivation to pump.

I learned that from 1982 to 1994 there were 22 recalls of infant formula in the US. There was also that crazy horrible one in China last year. Another reason to breast feed.

Your pediatrician is your partner in the health of your baby/child and one of the most important decisions you will make. Make sure that you find someone you completely trust, and have the same basic philosophies as you about health.
