Breastmilk Makes My Tummy Yummy is one of my and my children's FAVORITE books! The colorful illustrations make us smile as we see other children (from all around the world!) breastfeeding and enjoying being with each other. The rhyme is infectious. My daughter quickly learned to finish the sentences, participating in the reading. She now holds the book herself and can read it aloud to her brother!
I often give it as a gift.
Get this one for a child. Get this one for yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars My daughter loves this book, September 22, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Breastmilk Makes My Tummy Yummy (Hardcover)

My daughter loves this book! I realized it was the only book we had that had a story line that is anything like her real life.

They need to have a board book version of this book.

EDITED TO ADD: Fast forward to the future. We just ordered a second copy of this book for our younger daughter because the old copy was in rags from being read so many times. Imagine our delight and surprise when we found that it is a BOARD BOOK now! We were just plain thrilled, because that was the book's only shortcoming before. This is our favorite book, right up there with Goodnight Moon.

4.0 out of 5 stars Recognizes breastfeeding as normal, September 1, 2006

I bought this for my breastfed daughter's first Christmas. It's great to have a children's book that recognizes breastfeeding as normal. I'm sick of having to skip over books that show babies with bottles! I'm glad this book is here. The illustrations aren't top notch, but they're fine. Some of the prose is a bit forced, but again it's all worth it to have something so positive.
