Loving Comfort by Vicky Pratt

Loving Comfort by Vicky Pratt

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.

Loving 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
