Loving Comfort: A Toddler Weaning Story

Mama€s milk has always been a part of Jack€s life, but that€s changing now that he€s a toddler, and that€s hard. But Mama€s cuddling arms, lullaby voice, and thump-thump heartbeat won€t change, even when the milk is gone.

The end of breastfeeding can be a deeply emotional transition for a mother and child: a major source of comfort for a child is going away, as is a big component of a woman€s identity as a mother. This book addresses the psychological aspects of weaning, focusing on the mother-child relationship and additional ways a mother provides comfort.

This book is for toddlers and moms who are getting ready to start weaning, or are already in the process of weaning from breastfeeding.

€œLoving Comfort is about the life of a nursing relationship for a mother and her son. With beautiful illustrations and wisdom from a mother who has been there, Loving Comfort is as much for mothers as it is for children who are learning about weaning.€ €" Jessica Barton, MA, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant
