4.0 out of 5 stars Book can fall apart, March 4, 2004

This review is from: Maggie's Weaning (Paperback)

This is a sweet book. It is the only book I have found that talks about weaning. But, it is cheaply made. I wish it was a board book, or at least put together better. (The book is paper stapled together)
The pictures are great. My daughter, of course, wanted to nurse after looking at the first two pages.
I really wish I could find a book about a baby being weaned. This book is really for toddlers watching their new baby nursing and remembering when they nursed and were weaned.

This review is from: Maggie's Weaning (Paperback)

When it was time to wean my daughters (both nursed into the toddler years), this was a great book to share with them. I loved the idea of having a weaning party; we didn't do this, but we did mark the occasion with some amount of fanfare. If you can't find the book at Amazon for a reasonable price, be sure to check out La Leche League's website store, where you can get it for its COVER PRICE!!!!

This sweet book made such a difference when the time came to wean my nursing toddler. It is a simple, straightforward and loving story told from the point of view of a toddler who has stopped nursing. Maggie confides that she sometimes misses her 'mee-mees' - but also tells us that she is a big girl now, and can do so many things she couldn't do before. This is a touching snapshot of a very important milestone, and it helped my daughter enormously to hear Maggie's story and to identify with her during the transition. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for writing this book!
