Excellent anecdotal resource describing the various methods mothers have used to wean their children from the breast, encouraging mothers to wean naturally. Great support for those of us practising extended nursing. (

Written by an LLL Leader, How Weaning Happens includes the personal experiences of mothers who have weaned in a variety of ways. It covers the kinds of questions parents have about weaning and reassures them that weaning is a natural process and does not have to be a stressful event for mother or child

Written by an LLL Leader, HOW WEANING HAPPENS includes the personal experiences of mothers who have weaned in a variety of ways. It covers the kinds of questions parents have about natural weaning, explains how weaning can be accomplished at various ages, what to do if weaning is necessary for medical reasons, how to handle pressure from others, how mothers feel about weaning, and what to do if weaning isn't going well. Above all, it reassures parents that weaning is a natural developmental process. (Reviewed in NEW BEGINNINGS, Sept.-Oct. 1999.)

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0912500549, Paperback)

When counseling breastfeeding families who ask How Weaning Happens, author Diane Bengson says, "Gradually, with love." She answers the many questions she's seen hundreds of families bring up through her years as a La Leche League Leader and wrapped her own as well as their personal experiences into her book How Weaning Happens. She covers social and cultural differences among the breastfeeding families, pressures to wean, natural weaning and various other reasons to wean. She also writes about the physical and emotional changes of mother and child in a nursing relationship. Weaning is the first complete book on the topic from LLLI, though the organization has a number of shorter publications on the subject.
