About this deal
Thank you so much it was exactly what I was looking for and will be recommending it to all breastfeeding parents! The back pages feature a weaning guide for Mothers who wish to end their breastfeeding journey as gently and as happily as possible. This has changed my life for the better without upsetting her, I could not recommend this any more for any mother looking to wean an older child.
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. Even though we’re not officially weaning yet, he’s fascinated by the idea that the toddler in Booby Moon doesn’t need milk anymore, and I can see it’s a first step towards laying the foundations. Group Black's collective includes Essence Opens a new window, The Shade Room Opens a new window and Naturally Curly Opens a new window. 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. I thought there would be tears, I thought I might have to make dad do bedtime, so many people told me to go away for a few days to wean.No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins. This is a community to encourage, support, and educate parents nursing babies/children through their breastfeeding journey. 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. The story also brings comfort post weaning, offering reassurance that the relationship continues; you can still wave up to Booby Moon and Mumma will still be here to offer love, cuddles and comfort.
Book also includes a gentle-parenting user guide that covers: how to wean using Booby Moon, night weaning prior, breaking the fed-to-sleep habit and various options for a meaningful goodbye ritual. Sure, they gave toddlers a heads-up that the milk would soon be gone, but they didn’t imbue the process with the joy, ritual or excitement that she wanted.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. 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. The back section of Booby Moon contains kind, insightful guidance for using the book to facilitate weaning. 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! it's a charming story about a kid who has to send the booby milk back to the moon so other babies can have milk.
