The story was engaging for my son to listen to, and he would even choose it as a book he wanted to read. Our experience using Booby Moon for weaning our boob-mad 2-year-old was incredible. After we said goodbye to Booby Milk, he simply accepted that it was gone. He still asked for it occasionally but whenever he did we reminded him of how we had let it go and there were no complaints, no pleading, no tears. Instead, excitement and joy would rush to his little face and he would say, "Yeah, I let go! And Booby went shhhhheewww up to the moon!"

Book also includes a gentle-parenting user guide that how to wean using Booby Moon, night weaning prior, breaking the fed-to-sleep habit and various options for a meaningful goodbye ritual. Booby Moon is special because it has a magical element that appeals to the child and also sets up a beautiful ritual to complete the breastfeeding journey. Studies show the practice of ritual during times of loss alleviates grief, makes us feel closer to our families and helps us to say goodbye. The ritual aspect of the Booby Moon process helps mother and toddler find an easeful acceptance for Booby Milk going away – with the child seeing the magic leave with their own eyes. 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.The concept was created in 2020 by a breastfeeding mother who was ready to wean but could not find a children's book on the market that offered her toddler an upside to their impending loss. Using the 'Booby Moon' story was such an easy and beautiful experience that it needs to be shared with parents around the world.

My 2yo son is what you would call a booby monster. He loved his booby. 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.Note: Book features an illustration of a mother cuddling her toddler to sleep instead of nursing them at night (bed-sharing).

This book is amazing. I nursed my daughter for over 2 years and to say that she was obsessed with the boob is an understatement. We read it for about 2 months and it really helped me wean my daughter when I truly thought there was no end. I will say that at first she refused to read the book after the first time. Probably because she didn’t like what it was about. We didn’t do the balloon ceremony thing, but I would remind her that mama’s booby milk went to the moon whenever she would ask to nurse. At 2.5 years old, she still asks to read the book and enjoys it.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. The night of my son's last breastfeed we did a special cake and a celebration and reminded him that we were saying goodbye to booby. I was very emotional the first dozen times I read the book. It is beautifully written and illustrated and really touches on the intense bond that breastfeeding fosters and how hard that can be to give up, for both mum and child.
