"Toddler Weaning: Deciding to Gradually Wean your Toddler & Making it Happen" by Dr. Punita Rice, Ed.D.

"Toddler Weaning" is a short, to-the-point book about gradually weaning a breastfeeding toddler, written by a teacher and mom of two. It's perfect for nursing moms of toddlers who are considering weaning (and may need help deciding if they are ready to stop breastfeeding), or are ready to wean, but need help planning how to wean.

The book offers a discussion of how to decide to wean (including why you may not want to wean), why weaning can be difficult, the case for weaning gradually, and offers a path to making it happen over the course of a few months, starting with night weaning, and finishing in fully weaning.

And it includes a bonus section of resources on breastfeeding and female fertility.

The book offers a gentle, gradual approach to weaning that can be modified to lead to weaning success within 6-8 weeks (or less, if you choose). This book is not the only, or even necessarily the best path to toddler weaning, but it's one approach that might prove helpful, useful, or at least informative for moms looking for this kind of information.
