The value of this book lies more in validation than in concrete advice, although it does have some practical suggestions. Its primary purpose is to assure moms that tandem nursing is safe and normal and that feelings of resentment about it are also normal. I actually found that it makes tandem nursing seem incredibly unappealing, and I plan to wean my older child during pregnancy. It would be most helpful, I think, to moms whose older child is a really committed nurser (my son will be passing through a weaning window) and who need help either with weaning under difficult circumstances or with dealing with feelings of resentment toward their toddler. ( ) The first full-length book on the subject of tandem nursing provides comprehensive answers to a wide range of questions related to breastfeeding during pregnancy and nursing siblings. Flower shares her thorough understanding of what we know and what we can surmise on these important topics based on a great reservoir of mother wisdom, including stories of over 200 mothers from around the world. Additionally, she provides an extensive review of medical research and many discussions with experts in the fields of nutrition, obstetrics, and anthropology. In this book, the author combines research with personal stories and humour to create an excellent reservoir of ideas for mothers who are defining breastfeeding boundaries while trying to prepare for the addition of a new baby to the family. Explores emotions that many mothers experience, and includes helpful information to help you decide if being a ?tandem mama? is right for you and your family. no reviews | add a review
