Beautiful photos and charming text,
By J-Mom (Loogootee, IN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Near Mama's Heart (Paperback)
This book will warm the hearts of breastfeeding families everywhere, and perhaps win over some undecided parents-to-be (or some not-so-supportive relatives). The photos are beautiful and natural, and depict breastfeeding in various settings and situations. The text has a great message. Together, the text and photos will have nursing families nodding and smiling at the familiar scenes. The families in the photos are ethnically diverse, and the little nurslings range from very young to toddlerhood or older. There are a couple of tandem nursing scenes. All in all, this is a welcome addition to the limited number of books available that portray breastfeeding as a normal and positive part of life. It's suitable for children of any age (my 7-year-old son enjoyed it), and adults will find it appealing and affirming.

A Mother's Day gift- for my kids!,
By
This review is from: Near Mama's Heart (Paperback)
I bought this book as a gift for my daughter (almost four) and newborn son on Mother's Day. It was a way to show my daughter how important the nursing relationship I shared with her was, and to share that same bond with my son. It was wonderful, and truly touching, and so very nice to see breastfeeding portrayed so honestly and naturally. BRAVO, Colleen!!!
