Nursies When the Sun Shines Description
Nursies When the Sun Shines is a godsend to parents of nursing toddlers, exhausted from late night wakings for milk. Beautiful watercolor illustrations and a sweet, lulling verse help young children understand the concept of night and day. Night time, the book explains, is for sleeping. "Nursies," on the other hand, happen when the sun shines. In Nursies, a toussle-haired toddler is snuggled up in bed with mom and dad, ready to go to sleep for the night, the family's grey striped cat snoozing soundly at their feet. When the toddler wakes at night for "nursies," mom shows her baby that it's dark outside, and assures baby that she'll have nursies when the sun shines. Later, with brilliant sun streaming through the window, the toddler knows it's time for nursies. The book closes with a heart-warming illustration of a nursing family: the toddler, nuzzled up to mama's breast, daddy kissing toddler's head, and even the family cat purring a love song. Nursies is a groundbreaking children's book, the first-ever to focus on night weaning. Its goal is to facilitate communication between parent and young child, thereby making the process of night weaning as gentle and easy as possible.

I am currently 3 months pregnant with my second baby, and still nursing my 2 1/2 year toddler. However, nursing through pregnancy, specifically at night, was becoming increasingly painful and difficult. It was time for the 24 hour all-you-can-eat snack bar to come to a close! Well, we are on night FIVE... My 2 1/2 year old is now night weaned and SLEEPING THROUGH 11+ hours!!! This book has been a glorious accompaniment to our gentle night weaning plan, and is my daughter's current favorite read! Now, I am only waking once a night to pee and to snack (thank you, baby en utero), but hey, at least it is no longer 4 times a night to twilight feed my toddler! THANK YOU! :)

Where do I even begin to write about what a beautiful book this is? First of all, I love that it is a breastfeeding book for children. If you have ever tried to find a children's breastfeeding book, there aren't that many choices. Secondly, it is written simply, yet eloquently. Katherine uses simple phrases and words that your child will understand. Night weaning can be a difficult process and this book puts the process into words a child can understand. Third, it is written from a loving perspective. No talk of crying or any being left alone. And finally, the illustrations are stunning. They are wall-worthy! The last photo will bring tears to your eyes. Oh, I also like that the child is not gender specific, so you don't have to worry that it is for a boy or girl, it is for all children.
Overall, a must have book for any family with breastfeeding children!
