Loving Comfort:
A Toddler Weaning Story
Mama’s milk has always been a part of Jack’s life, but that’s changing now that he’s a toddler, and that’s hard. But Mama’s cuddling arms, lullaby voice, and thump-thump heartbeat won’t change, even when the milk is gone.
The end of breastfeeding can be an emotional transition for a mom and her child. This book addresses the psychological aspects of weaning, focusing on the mother-child relationship and additional ways a mom provides comfort.
I wrote this book when I weaned my two year-old and a mom friend sought books about weaning to read with her son. I had learned so much from our local La Leche League chapter, and I wanted to write a story that reflected that philosophy as well as addressed my own mixed feelings and anxieties. (To be clear, La Leche League advocates child-led weaning, while this book is for moms who choose to put boundaries on their breastfeeding.)
My hope is that you will read this book with your toddler to reassure him or her that YOU are not going away when the milk does, and that it will help you feel secure that you have other ways to provide comfort when milk isn’t an option anymore.
Loving Comfort has helped tens of thousands of families since 2017 and is now in five languages. Heartfelt thanks to my talented translators, and to all moms who support each other on this tremendous journey of parenthood.
Loving Comfort:
A Toddler Weaning Story
“Loving Comfort is about the life of a nursing relationship for a mother and her son. With beautiful illustrations and wisdom from a mother who has been there, Loving Comfort is as much for mothers as it is for children who are learning about weaning.”
