when looking into buying parenting books, i tend to check out the reviews on amazon, and i also peruse our fabulous pediatrician, jay gordon's, newest addition to his website--"recommended reading"!
i must say that when i recently purchased the 2 books below, i expected pages upon pages of information of HOW to wean. strangely, each has only about 10 pages on actual weaning techniques. the books mostly explain all angles of weaning--emotional, hormonal, logistical, causes, historical weaning....
though i expected the books to have more info on technique, i was not disappointed. i am happy that i learned so much about such an important area of parenthood...did you notice how i didn't say motherhood? although, weaning is ultimately under a mother's control, dad should have input too---and both books have sections for dads.
the books are:
the nursing mother's guide to weaning by kathleen huggins, r.n., m.s. (2007)
mothering your nursing toddler by norma jane bumgarner (2009)
