3.0 out of 5 stars Thorough, touching, useful but not impartial, 24 Feb 2001

By A Customer

It is excellent to find a book dedicated to weaning when most parenting books only dedicate one or two lines to the subject. This book covers physical, emotional, medical and social aspects of weaning - and so is very thorough. Offers information that you wont find from health visitors or the usual baby books and magazines. It has some touching personal accounts of weaning and offers some very good practical suggestions for weaning. However, this book does tend to push a philosophy of child led weaning. This in most cases will mean breastfeeding until a child is well into toddlerhood and is ready to wean on her own. (The book also seems to assume full breastfeeding including night feeds well into toddlerhood). The book does mention other methods of weaning but is not objective in this. This philosophy, whilst fine could perhaps could put some women off the book. I feel that it would be better if it was written more objectively allowing the individual reader the freedom to choose the methods that feel right for them without having value judgements attached. For this reason I gave the rating of 3. Nevertheless, i tried to read the book with some impartiality and found some good ideas to pick out and that I felt would work for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Uplifting accounts of mum's who breastfeed toddlers, 19 Dec 2001

By A Customer

I found this book a complete eye opener. For once I was offered a true impression of what it might be like to feed my baby as a toddler. Rather than an old load of baloney from my mother's generation of bottle fed babies telling me to give up now or you'll breastfeed them until you die. Instead I got great satisfaction and encouragement that I now know I am doing the right thing and to stuff all the ignorant people who only know about words like SMA, Cow ang Gate, etc. This book makes you realise that it is our modern fast-pace sex/boob assessed world that has got a problem with you breast feeding your 2 year old and not the child in your arms who derives the biggest comfort from their mummy milk, and that ultimately a secure baby will become an independent child. The criticism I have of this book is that may be it tends to over value the needs of the child and make you feel bad for wanting to even suggest weaning your baby from the breast. Also the fact that the book is written in the USA means that culturally there are differences in attitudes to breastfeeing and I certainly got the impression that it was more advocated in the US than in the UK.
