I think the opportunity for parent/child discussion while reading might be a
better way to handle nipple confusion than in a text of a book geared to
toddlers and young siblings. Perhaps I am alone in that thought.

I wish the pictures weren't of equal size and of course wish the
breastfeeding one were larger but I can't help think the text about babies
not liking to wait for food being a subtle tip of the scale in favor of
nursing. :-)

Thanks for the comment on the "back to sleep" issue. I completely missed
that one in my zeal to share that the breastfeeding mom was pictured first,
not covered up, and looking into the baby's eyes. There seem to be so few
mainstream books with nursing even mentioned, that I guess I salivate when I
do see them.
