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. Group Owners uphold the core values of the brand by reporting content that violates the community guidelines.

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. I thought there would be tears, I thought I might have to make dad do bedtime, so many people told me to go away for a few days to wean. I bought a couple of weaning books for Lily, then decided that I wasn't quite ready to wean her yet.

I thought some of the book might have had an effect on him, but I did not expect such an immediate and magical change. This is a beautifully illustrated book about weaning which helps your little ones prepare to move off of breast milk and onto food. Booby Moon , inspired by both Indigenous storytelling and Western mythology like the Tooth Fairy, uses a simple rhyming format to prepare toddlers – and parents – for this monumental milestone. In the same way that the Tooth Fairy makes children happy about their teeth falling out, looking forward to seeing Booby Milk magic fly away to Booby Moon can give the same wondrous joy to a weaning toddler.

it's a charming story about a kid who has to send the booby milk back to the moon so other babies can have milk. This is a community to encourage, support, and educate parents nursing babies/children through their breastfeeding journey. A chance to celebrate a milestone reached, honour the journey thus far and acknowledge this special time for both mother and child. 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. Using the 'Booby Moon' story was such an easy and beautiful experience that it needs to be shared with parents around the world.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. 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 nursed my daughter for over 2 years and to say that she was obsessed with the boob is an understatement. We've been down to only night nursing for a long time, which is likely why he wakes several times a night. 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.

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. With over 6 million of the world’s best eBooks to choose from, Kobo offers you a whole world of reading. I really like the idea of my toddler being the one to have a physical representation of letting go of milk but I cannot release a balloon. Note: Book features an illustration of a mother cuddling her toddler to sleep instead of nursing them at night (bed-sharing).Even though we’re not officially weaning yet, he’s fascinated by the idea that the toddler in Booby Moon doesn’t need milk anymore, and I can see it’s a first step towards laying the foundations. I think this book could be really great for moms who want to end breastfeeding at a specific point in time. Group Leaders communicate with staff moderators and escalate potential violations for review, but they don’t moderate discussions. The story is simplistic enough for toddlers to understand but captures enough of the complexity of the issue of weaning and makes it into such a lovely special and memorable ritual.
