Review:

Aside from all the great features and benefits listed above, Mommy Breastfeeds My Baby Brother is a must-have for every family with older kids preparing for the arrival of a new baby, because:

The book can be used in two ways:

1. The book is a handy tutorial for parents, as it describes how to turn a toddler into a proud pro-nursing and pro-baby helper.

Even being the only child in the family, a toddler can be very demanding… Always fighting for your undivided attention, always striving to show what they are capable of, always in need of feeling important.

Arrival of a new baby can make it all ten times worse, not to mention frequent nursing sessions. It could all turn the household into a constant battle field.

Mommy Breastfeeds My Baby Brother equips a parent with great techniques that really work. Jenna (the older sibling) goes all the way from “I don’t like it when you are feeding the baby” to “I like when mommy feeds him”.

2. The book is great for reading with your older child.

I’ve noticed multiple times, that my son reacts best to illustrations that depict real life, something that he sees every day, rather than fairy-tale images.

This book has illustrations of the baby, the toddler, the act of breastfeeding and everything else that a toddler in this situation would see in the house.

By looking at these pictures your older child subconsciously sees commonalities and feels re-assured that he/she is not the only one in such situation. Naturally, most kids will try to do if not a better job, then at least same great job as Jenna did being an older sister and a big helper!

The book depicts the process of nursing as something very natural. It doesn’t make a big deal out of it, at least not in the eyes of a toddler. It shows it as just another routine, same as brushing teeth or taking a bath. I think it helps create a healthy nursing environment at home.

One great technique that the book talks about is the introduction of Feeding Time Toys. By introducing new toys that the toddler can play with ONLY when mommy feeds the baby, you turn feeding times from something the toddler dreads into something they are looking forward to.

No need to always buy new toys. Rotate the old ones. Hide several old toys for a week or two and then reintroduce them as the Feeding Time Toys. They will be as good as new!

I like that the book is available in Spanish too. The hardcover version is English only. Softcover book has both English and Spanish text on every page.

Both hard- and softcover books have thick glossy pages and colorful illustrations.

Mommy Breastfeeds My Baby Brother is very easy to read. You can even re-word and adapt the book to your situation as needed.

“This delightful book is a great addition to a child’s library.

- Dr. Susan Sirota, private practitioner and pediatric instructor at Northwestern University Medical School

"I bought this as a gift for my five year old granddaughter, whose mommy is breastfeeding her 9 month old baby brother. She loved it (she could especially relate to the red-headed little girl, because she is red-headed, too)! She had me read it to her repeatedly, and she also read it to herself..."
