Kathleen Huggins has a new book out on weaning. It deals with very early weaning (younger than 4 months) as well as later. This might be hlefpul. As I recall from scanning it several months ago (pre-publication copy), it does a good job warning moms that this is not always a great idea. She also, however, deals with mothers' desires to do so (regardless of reason) in an honest, straight-forward manner. Think about getting it and maybe sharing it with this mom. Def. of LC service: "We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations." Kathleen G. Auerbach,PhD, IBCLC (Homewood, IL)- [log in to unmask]
