FORMATHardcover CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

Booby Moon is a beautifully illustrated rhyming storybook specifically designed to emotionally support both mother and child for weaning from breastfeeding.Weaning doesn't have to be all tears, tantrums and heart ache. It can be an exciting, heartwarming, and beautiful experience to treasure. A chance to celebrate a milestone reached, honour the journey thus far and acknowledge this special time for both mother and child.Most weaning storybooks introduce the concept that breastfeeding will be ending soon. Booby Moon does that, but so much more.It gives toddlers: A magical story they connect with.A celebration to look forward to.Evidence of Booby Milk leaving.A beautiful ritual to help them say goodbye.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.Our experience using Booby Moon for weaning our boob-mad 2-year-old was incredible. After we said goodbye to Booby Milk, he simply accepted that it was gone. He still asked for it occasionally but whenever he did we reminded him of how we had let it go and there were no complaints, no pleading, no tears. Instead, excitement and joy would rush to his little face and he would say, "Yeah, I let go! And Booby went shhhhheewww up to the moon!"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. Studies show the practice of ritual during times of loss alleviates grief, makes us feel closer to our families and helps us to say goodbye. 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. 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.Look up to the moon, isn't it amazing?Doesn't it seem magical already?Half the work is done for us right there.Book also includes a gentle-parenting user guide that covers: how to wean using Booby Moon, night weaning prior, breaking the fed-to-sleep habit and various options for a meaningful goodbye ritual.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. Using the 'Booby Moon' story was such an easy and beautiful experience that it needs to be shared with parents around the world.Suitable age range: 12months - 4 years.Note: Book features an illustration of a mother cuddling her toddler to sleep instead of nursing them at night (bed-sharing).

Review

"I bought this book so that I could gently wean my toddler. The story really chimed with her and she understood and enjoyed it. I followed the advice towards the back too and I can hardly believe I'm saying this but by the 3 week mark, we were weaned. My daughter is and was not upset after being a committed fan of breastfeeding for such a long time. This has changed my life for the better without upsetting her, I could not recommend this any more for any mother looking to wean an older child." - ArbUK"This book and the whole concept behind it is excellent! 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. Plus the illustrations are really engaging. We changed the wording a little to suit our circumstances and it was perfect! Thank you so much it was exactly what I was looking for and will be recommending it to all breastfeeding parents!" - Amazon Customer"This is a must-have resource for weaning. Not only does the author give tips, tricks, and resources to the parent in the back of the book, but the story itself is beautifully written in rhyme to keep the little ones attention and the author helps give alternatives if "booby" isn't your go-to word - so it will work for everyone! Can't praise this book enough!" - Anonymous Booklover
