Nursies When the Sun Shines Board book – Picture Book, June 17, 2024

I’ve never written a review in my life, but I came to write about this one because I’m going through a loooot with my baby that since 6 months wake up every hour(he is now 14 months) to nursie, and he doesn’t accept another way yet to put him to sleep. I’ll starting the night weaning to try to get this better and I was searching a book with good illustration and easy way to read for him about this. I got another ones but didn’t like that much. Nursies when the sun shines it’s such a kind and gentle book about this theme. Thank you Katherine Havener for your kindness writing about night weaning.

I bought five night weaning books and this was by far the best quality. It’s a board book with beautiful illustrations, no typos, and really helpful, detailed information about the night weaning process. The author is a board certified lactation consultant. One consideration: the illustrations depict cosleeping (mom, baby, dad, and a kitty). Doesn’t bother me, but some might not like that aspect.

Best night weaning book and I ordered like 10

The art in this book is absolutely gorgeous. The mom and the boy even resemble me and my son. I’ll say as a mama who is tired, “Mommy goes to sleep” hits that emotional place. It’s even been helping my son learn new words like night. The end has a lot of good information for parents. And after reading it I’ll say, I’m not there yet. It mentions making sure you are able to be emotionally supportive in the night weaning process. Make sure you have enough help for getting your own rest. We have not weaned yet but I love having this book and my son does too.

Great book, beautiful illustrations and simple, developmentally appropriate language. The guide to night weaning in the back is helpful.I wish that they made a few versions with the family having a wider array of hair, skin colors etc!

Perfect book! If you are a cosleeping mama ready to night ween you need this book! I read this to my 18 mo old every night for 3 weeks prior to weening. On the first night without nighttime nursing I let her know that tonight was the night that milk needed to sleep all night long so mama and baby could get good sleep. She woke up for milk after 5 hours of sleep and I gently reminded her the milk was sleeping, she cried for maybe 5 min while I held her and then she went back to sleep, the next night the same thing happened but she only cried a couple min and the went back to sleep. By the 3rd night she didn’t ask for milk. It’s been one week and we are sleeping great! We still read it every night. She loves to point out the mama, dada, baby, and cat. This book helped her understand and I am so grateful.

Night weaning was a nightmare for us.Reading this book before bedtime has allowed our toddler to understand what is going on instead of being so upset that they can’t nurse. It took a lot of willpower and a couple of weeks, but it’s been a couple of years since I was able to sleep through the night like this! Absolute win and I will recommend this book to anyone beginning their weaning journey.

I've been waiting for this to come back in stock for at least a year, and I'm so glad I finally have it. Highly recommend
