Once Upon a Potty for Him DVD
from Barron's Educational Series
Admit it: you never thought you'd be buying a video with the word potty in the title. But it's been months, and while Junior seems to love his potty, he doesn't actually do anything in it. So you need some inspiration. Well, you've found it. This video expands upon the popular children's book by the same name in two ways: there's a sing-along potty song and a 13-minute doctor's statement for parents. The director of child psychiatry at a prominent New York hospital will calmly reassure you that it's perfectly normal for Junior to be taking his sweet time letting go of the diapers, and that's worth a lot. And the animated retelling of Joshua's potty progress is good, too. But it's the "music video" of the oh-so-catchy "Potty Song" that makes this half-hour tape. And just in case you aren't already singing the song in line at the bank or the grocery store, the thoughtful producers have included a lyric sheet for you. "Yes, I'm going to my potty, potty / Now, I'm going to my potty, potty...." --Kimberly Heinrichs
For many seasons, both the for Him and for Her versions of Once Upon a Potty in VHS cassette format have been best-selling items at bookstores throughout America. Now, both of these two cheerfully animated cartoons are also available as DVDs to make toilet training a little easier on both parents and kids. One DVD tells a little boy's story of potty-training success; the other tells a girl's story. Toddlers will enjoy watching Joshua and Prudence graduate from diapers to potty, and will want to emulate these cheery cartoon kids and sing The Potty Song along with them. Both versions of Once Upon a Potty are also still available as videocassettes. See backlist for details. (Ages 1-4)
Once Upon a Potty For Her
from Barrons
Prudence--the round-cheeked, pony-tailed heroine of Alona Frankel's book of the same name--can provide further inspiration to young daughters with her video adventure. As with her print counterpart, the animated Prudence wonders if her grandmother's gift could be a birdbath or a flowerpot before she settles down to the business at hand. Unlike the book, Prudence gets a grand introduction in the form of a music video of "The Potty Song," complete with toddlers frolicking among portable potties. A lyric sheet is included and moms will appreciate the equality mindedness of songwriter Art Frankel ("Wee-wee goes there / Poo-poo goes there / Then Daddy wipes behind me and that is that!"). The second half of this 24-minute video is a "Parent's Guide," in which a prominent pediatrician goes over the basics: signs of readiness, terms, methods, and expected ages (for example, girls usually train before boys, but don't force it). --Kimberly Heinrichs
Laugh and Learn About Breastfeeding
from EXPECT THIS
Although Breastfeeding is a natural process, it is mostly a learned art. Obstacles are the norm, but it is the best start that a mother can give her new baby.

Like the other two video classes in this series, 'Laugh and Learn About Childbirth' and 'Laugh and Learn About Newborn Baby Care', 'Laugh and Learn About Breastfeeding' is a comprehensive, fun and entertaining way to learn everything you need to know to have a pleasant Breastfeeding experience. On her new DVD, Sheri Bayles, RN shares her experiences, gives tips and strategies to avoid Breastfeeding obstacles, explains latch on, holds and positions, especially for breastfeeding twins, pumping, diet, and setting up a schedule that let's you get a good night of sleep.

The Baby Whisperer (Vol. 1)
by Dewi Humphreys
from 20th Century Fox
Nicknamed "the Baby Whisperer" by clients because of her uncanny ability to calm infants, Britain's baby expert Tracy Hogg offers her unique infant communication approach in this 74-minute program geared primarily to parents of newborns. With more than 25 years of experience as a registered nurse, lactation consultant, and childcare instructor, Hogg shares her no-nonsense advice with quiet authority in a soothing, reassuring manner. Two dozen short segments or "scenes" cover a myriad of baby basics such as feeding, swaddling, and sleep issues. Interspersed are several Q&A sessions that "listen in" on Hogg's real-life parent support groups as a handful of fledging mums and dads ask pertinent questions and wait for Hogg's brief yet satisfactory answers. For visual learners, the film is an excellent tutorial offering step-by-step diapering, breastfeeding, and bathing techniques. It tries to cover many subjects well enough to help first-time parents gain confidence and perspective. For more comprehensive coverage of typical infant problems (excessive crying, sleepless nights, etc.) and their solutions, Hogg's book is recommended as a complementary companion. --Lynn Gibson
In this groundbreaking Video, Tracey Hogg concentrates her vast knowledge (and huge dose of common sense) into simple, accessible programs that parents can begin after the baby is born. Reassuring, down-to-earth, and often flying in the face of conventional wisdom, "The Baby Whisperer" promises parents not only a healthier, happier baby but a more relaxed and happy household as well.
