Mothering Your Nursing Toddler

Norma Jane Bumgarner's Mothering Your Nursing Toddler, first published in 1980, and now available in an updated and expanded 2000 edition in English, French, and German, is an unparalleled classic that has encouraged countless mothers to continue breastfeeding past infancy, and has thus made a truly significant difference to our world.

We highly recommend Norma Jane's book to all nursing mothers, and are delighted to see that her website now includes hundreds of readers' comments and personal stories, divided into the following categories:

  • Why would anyone want to keep nursing after the first year?
  • Humor
  • Using a private "code"
  • Frequent nursing and clinginess
  • Nursing for comfort
  • Coping with "free hand" habits
  • Nursing burnout
  • Nursing while pregnant
  • Tandem nursing
  • Sibling rivalry
  • For fathers
  • Talking with family and friends
  • Talking with medical professionals
  • Night nursing
  • Toddler too thin? Too heavy?
  • When the baby wants to wean before the mother is ready
  • Nursing past toddlerhood
  • Nursing as it relates to marriage and sexuality
  • When continued nursing affects fertility
  • Employed mothers
  • Setting limits and/or weaning
  • Do older nurslings remember nursing later in life?
  • Breastfeeding customs outside the united states
  • Nipple pain/biting
  • Night nursing and tooth decay
  • Legal issues
  • Mother's weight
  • Nutrition
  • Miscellaneous
