Booby Moon: A weaning book for toddlers.

Product Information

I'll admit, while I was excited to give reading the book a go, I had a healthy amount of skepticism about how much it would help. It helped us through something I was very apprehensive about, and made the experience something positive for my son.

Group Leaders communicate with staff moderators and escalate potential violations for review, but they don’t moderate discussions. Booby Moon , inspired by both Indigenous storytelling and Western mythology like the Tooth Fairy, uses a simple rhyming format to prepare toddlers – and parents – for this monumental milestone. No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins. We've been down to only night nursing for a long time, which is likely why he wakes several times a night. With over 6 million of the world’s best eBooks to choose from, Kobo offers you a whole world of reading.

In the same way that the Tooth Fairy makes children happy about their teeth falling out, looking forward to seeing Booby Milk magic fly away to Booby Moon can give the same wondrous joy to a weaning toddler.

I had to wean her so we can do another round of IVF, and I was dreading the process cuz my girl is a boob monster!Book also includes a gentle-parenting user guide that how to wean using Booby Moon, night weaning prior, breaking the fed-to-sleep habit and various options for a meaningful goodbye ritual. It explains that the moon sends down magical booby milk for babies to drink, and that the time will soon come to send that magic back to the moon, so that new babies can have milk, too.

Still, I found this book to be a sweet idea for a weaning ritual in a culture that lacks any such thing to provide closure for those who have chosen to breastfeed into the toddler years.

While our feeds had dropped to one or two a day, refusing him was very difficult and dropping feeds was always a drawn out process. The views expressed in community are solely the opinions of participants, and do not reflect those of What to Expect.Not only does the author give tips, tricks, and resources to the parent in the back of the book, but the story itself is beautifully written in rhyme to keep the little ones attention and the author helps give alternatives if "booby" isn't your go-to word - so it will work for everyone! I followed the advice towards the back too and I can hardly believe I'm saying this but by the 3 week mark, we were weaned. It is beautifully written and illustrated and really touches on the intense bond that breastfeeding fosters and how hard that can be to give up, for both mum and child. A chance to celebrate a milestone reached, honour the journey thus far and acknowledge this special time for both mother and child.
