Nursing Mothers Guide to Weaning
by Kathleen Huggins & Linda Ziedrich
Explores all aspects of weaning beginning with an historical survey of weaning practices and ending with weaning a child over three and life after weaning. Discusses reasons for weaning as well as reasons to delay weaning; offers practical and helpful advice that respects the needs and feelings of both mother and child. LLL does not endorse some breastfeeding management practices, particularly those discussed in Chapter 2, "Weaning before four months," and the use of herbal remedies for insufficient milk supply or over-the-counter treatments for thrush.
