My toddler daughter loves books and nursing (not in that order).
And while she can't sit through the whole thing yet, she's very interested in Mommy Feeds Baby, by lactation consultant Christina Jo Hendricks.
The book is a series of photos of mothers nursing their babies, listing the many reasons why mothers breastfeed. The text on each page reads, "Because _____, Mommy feeds baby."
The images include mothers of different ethnicities nursing children of different ages, in different locations and with different family members present. All of the photos were taken by the author. It's also available in Spanish.
The best part of the book is the final page, which allows the owner to insert their own picture and write a statement about why they nurse.
This is a sweet, affirming, and beautiful book, and I have the fun of offering one to a lucky reader!
