I am a nursing mother. I have a 6 week old baby, a 2 year old and my 4 year old daughter.
Although, I did nurse my 2 year old; apparently my oldest daughter forgot or maybe has just seen to many family and friends bottle feeding, climbed up onto the couch while I nursed my brand new baby and asked.
"What are you doing?"
"I have to feed the baby."
"HE EATS YOU?!!" She said puzzled and shocked.
I couldn't help but laugh and try to explain what exactly I was doing and why.
So, This book is perfect. It helps teach children the reason for breastfeeding and why we do it in a sweet way that was easy for my 2 children to understand.
It tells a story of a little girl who doesn't understand why a baby would eat from her mother. The book is beautiful and shows a "realness" from the hospital to being confined to a couch with a toddler being a restless child wanting attention. Why mommy needs to feed the baby and why the baby needs her in return.
I thought this book had such a sweet way of showing such a beautiful thing.

I'd love this for when we have our next (hopefully in 2010). Though my daughter BF until 15+ months and still occasionally gives me the eye if I dress in front of her, this will be a great tool when we have #2!
Followed! I would love this book for when we have our 2nd baby (hopefully sometime next year). I'm passionate about breastfeeding!
This book sounds so sweet! My 7 year old step-son had a similar experience at the hospital... seeing me nurse his brother for the first time, he said: "Oh... so THAT's what those are for!" :o)
