Booby Moon: A weaning book for toddlers.

Product Information

I am still in a bit of disbelief about how well it worked, while being respectful of him and making it a celebration at the same time. I bought a couple of weaning books for Lily, then decided that I wasn't quite ready to wean her yet.

When I first read Booby Moon , I loved the tone and the idea but wondered if the mythological aspect would be right for me when it came time to wean my almost two-year-old. As Reid points out, you can tweak the details to suit your family – for example, changing ‘booby milk’ to whatever term you use or carrying out the ritual after a special ‘Milkday’ party if your child’s birthday isn’t the right time.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. A Group Leader is a What to Expect community member who has been selected by our staff to help maintain a positive, supportive tone within a group. We did our own booby moon ritual tonight, complete with cake and a balloon release, and she helped me put away the shirts I've used to nurse her to sleep. 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. 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.

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.
