Description
The Booby Moon series are beautifully illustrated rhyming storybooks specifically designed to emotionally support both mother and child with weaning from breastfeeding.
This storybook 'Booby Moon with Two' has been written specifically to help wean a breastfed toddler, while continuing to nurse their younger sibling. This tandem-fed variation of the award-winning 'Booby Moon' weaning book answers the call of so many tandem-nursing families who haven't had a suitable weaning book till now.
It begins with a rhyming storybook with realistic nursing images that children love. The story encourages toddlers to share their mother with the new baby and gives them an exciting ritual goodbye / celebration to look forward to once they wean. Following the storybook is an extended guidebook with plenty of advice, tips and tricks for both the Booby Moon method and the weaning process in general.
Most weaning storybooks introduce the concept that breastfeeding will be ending soon. 'Booby Moon with Two' does that, but so much more.
It gives toddlers:
• A magical story they connect with
• Encouragement to share with a new baby
• A sense of pride in their personal development
• 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. Weaning doesn't have to be about tears, tantrums and heartache. 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.
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!"
The Booby Moon method 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 that 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 Mama will still be here to offer love, cuddles and comfort.
The Booby Moon 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 needed to be shared with parents around the world. Similarly, 'Booby Moon with Two' was also created out of necessity, not for the author herself, but for the many mothers who had reached out to her seeking help with their tandem fed toddlers. Tandem feeding mothers desperately needed a resource of their own to help them wean their boob-mad toddlers while continuing to breastfeed a younger baby - it is for those inspiring mothers that 'Booby Moon with Two' was born.
