Lots of great information on nursing in history and in other cultures

Summary: A wonderful book
Review: I nursed all four of my children as toddlers and delight in recommending this nurturing book. While long-term breastfeeding becomes more popular in the US, Europe and Canada, there is still some confusion and unease about the topic. This book provides a reassuring nod to all mothers who are breastfeeding their toddlers. Filled with practical tips, real-life stories, quotes from experienced mothers and glorious photos, it is a joy to read. Handy pointers about typical toddler-feeding issues such as that annoying twiddling, handling your child's verbal public request to nurse, dealing with critics, night-nursing and weaning. If you currently are nursing your toddler, or if you are considering the journey, this book is worth owning. I have included a recommendation for it in my new book, Gentle Baby Care: Essential Tips for Raising Your Baby. -- Elizabeth Pantley, author of The No-Cry Sleep Solution.

Summary: Extremely Helpful Book!
Review: I read the first edition of this book when my daughter was about 8 months old and it helped me make the decision that it would be OK to keep nursing her past 12 months if I wanted to. I re-read the first edition when she was about 14 months old for practical advice and reassurance. I have since purchased the new edition [which is even better!], and I've returned to it many times over the last year. I've used it as a reference whenever I had a question, and I just recently re-read the whole thing as my daughter's second birthday began to approach. I've certainly gotten my money's worth out of this book and I recommend it to any mother who is contemplating nursing past the first birthday.

Summary: What a great resource for the nursing mom!
Review: I'm the mom of a nursing 22-month-old, and I find this book invaluable. It's full of great advice and information backed up with an extensive bibliography, and the author's wit, warmth and common sense make it a delight to read. I'd recommend it for any nursing mom, whatever the age of her child; it's an excellent reference to have on hand for answering all kinds of questions that can come up while nursing. The section on weaning is particularly enlightening and thorough.

Summary: A good pat on the back
Review: Living as I do far from support groups, I found this book helpful in combating the feeling of being alone. It was great to hear other mother's stories--not just the good, but the troubles and difficulties as well.

Summary: An excellent book about nursing or weaning a child.
Review: Mothering your Nursing Toddler is a fabulous book for anyone thinking about weaning or nursing their child. It helps a mother focus on the benefits and reasons for nursing a child beyond a few months. It is filled with stories and ideas for the nursing family. It has many great suggestions about weaning too.

Summary: Cold hard facts?
Review: My son is 13 months old, and has always been an enthusiastic, active (perhaps gymnastic is a better word) nurser. His first year of life had a few rough spots, but was mostly pretty hassle free. Since I now realize that some good facts would have stood me in good stead in that first year, I was hoping to head off any problems for the second year by reading this book. Specifically, I was looking for information about how much time/how many times a day he would nurse at different ages, information about maintaining a supply during business trips, etc. Although the book was fascinating, it didn't seem to have the sort of cold hard facts I was looking for, especially those relating to working moms. My advice: Go to a League meeting or talk to a League Leader.

Summary: Lot of info, great book
Review: Ok like we nursing moms have any free time on our hands let alone read a book! This one is quick reading, and it is very helpful. I especially enjoy reading about the history of breastfeeding and how other cultures breastfeed their children. There is nothing better for a child than a mother's milk and your milk is still essential to your babies' development no matter what ignorant people are telling you!!! This book is such a wealth of concise information. I do plan on child-led weaning and although this book does not promote "extended nursing" like I feel it should, it does recognize the numerous benefits to nursing a baby over 12 months old.
