Toddler Weaning: Deciding to Gradually Wean your Toddler & Making it Happen Kindle Edition

Much like the author, Dr. Rice, I needed to wean my first at 18 months in order to return to fertility to get pregnant with a second. It was hard for me, or so I thought, until I tried to wean my second! Even though I had already weaned a toddler, I found this book extremely helpful in having a concrete plan. It also helped to ease my anxiety around weaning my almost-two-year old. We're not yet at the end of the 6-8 week plan, but we're almost there and both of us are doing well! I also loved the no-frills aspect of this book. With two young kids, I don't have much time to read, let alone sit down, but I was able to read very quickly. It had exactly what my toddler daughter and I needed :)

The book is $10 and 50 pages but the only relevant details are in the last 6 pages of the book. The first 3 chapters until page 33 are about why you might not want to wean. Then chapter 4 covers night weaning which we’ve already done. I didn’t really feel like $10 was worth the last 6 pages of a book. That said, the last 6 pages did have helpful suggestions.

As a first time mom, I was clueless on how to wean my toddler. This book was so much more helpful than all the vague information my friends and internet were giving me. The book is a quick read, which is helpful when you’re a busy mama! I’d definitely recommended this to any mama that can’t figure out how to go about weaning and wants to read someone’s successful weaning experience!

Such a thoughtful book with steps that made sense! An easy read for a new mom. Thanks for sharing your insights and the approach you took with your son.

I had never thought I would be nursing my child as a toddler, but my son would not wean as easily as I had planned. Dr. Punita offers many strategies to transition toddlers away from breastfeeding in a quick, easy read!

The book was beautifully written with great practical tips and advice.

This book is self-published, which seems to have allowed for the author’s voice and very personal approach to be unadulterated by the demands of a publisher or editor. The book is a clear explanation of the author’s personal journey with weaning her son (step-by-step) but also includes suggestions for adaptation. I will definitely be following her advice, even though our weaning contexts are different. Highly recommend!

This book feels like a friend who shares her personal experience and is so comforting!!Thanks Punita for writing and sharing !!
