The nursing mother's guide to weaning How to bring breastfeeding to a gentle close and how to decide when the time is right

Kathleen Huggins

Book - 2007

"Breast milk has long been considered the best diet for a baby--it provides long-lasting health benefits for both mother and child. Seventy percent of new mothers start out breastfeeding, and all of them eventually face the same questions: when is the right time to wean, and what is the best way to go about it? This book explores the hygienic, nutritional, and emotional concerns that make weaning an important and often difficult transition."--Publisher description.
