Everything a nursing mother needs to know about weaning by breastfeeding expert, Kathleen Huggins.
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.
