Review # 1 was written on 2009-06-06 00:00:00 Eugene Rader This book didn't give me as much as I'd hoped for in terms of helpful, practical advice for nursing a toddler—when it came down to it, most of her advice was either stuff I'd already figured out for myself (nursing a 19-month-old, here) or stuff that didn't directly apply to my situation (for instance, all my friends are very pro-extended-breastfeeding, so I don't have to deal with negative peer pressure). The reason I'm giving the book a two-star rating, though, is I was annoyed by a lot of the implicit assumptions the author seemed to be making about her readers (that we are middle-to-upper class WASPs, that we're stay-at-home moms, that we drive everywhere in cars, that we're in heterosexual relationships but also that our husbands are largely just obstacles to be overcome on the path to proper baby-rearing...), and also I found author's explicit stance against working mothers frankly offensive.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-02-21 00:00:00 William Albert This book was helpful to me when I entered the world of nursing my toddler, though it does appear to operate on the assumption that the mother nursing for this duration is a stay-at-home or work-at-home mom, so some of the book rubbed me a bit the wrong way.
