Worth every penny

I love this book. The nursing situations portrayed are very realistic and hilarious (nursing in the bath tub, mom on the phone, nursing while cooking, etc). As you can tell from the front cover, the drawings do NOT show discreet nursing. If seeing bare nummies makes you uncomfortable, this is not the book for you! The book includes "older" children as well in their drawings. As I am nursing a toddler, I really appreciate the variety. My daughter can barely make it through the book with out asking for some milk. She asks for this book again and again!

My daughter loves this book

My daughter loves this book! I realized it was the only book we had that had a story line that is anything like her real life. They need to have a board book version of this book. EDITED TO ADD: Fast forward to the future. We just ordered a second copy of this book for our younger daughter because the old copy was in rags from being read so many times. Imagine our delight and surprise when we found that it is a BOARD BOOK now! We were just plain thrilled, because that was the book's only shortcoming before. This is our favorite book, right up there with Goodnight Moon.

we STILL are in love with this book!

I purchased this book when my son was about 1-year old. He loved it from the start and now, 2 years later, we love to read it together. He will point to the babies nursing and tell me "mama, baby drink chi-chi". Since he continues to get his own "chi-chi", he thinks it's pretty funny.I highly recommend this book to moms and dads and their babies - and nursing toddlers!

You'll LOVE this book!

Breastmilk Makes My Tummy Yummy is one of my and my children's FAVORITE books! The colorful illustrations make us smile as we see other children (from all around the world!) breastfeeding and enjoying being with each other. The rhyme is infectious. My daughter quickly learned to finish the sentences, participating in the reading. She now holds the book herself and can read it aloud to her brother! I often give it as a gift. Get this one for a child. Get this one for yourself.

My toddler loves this book!

This is the best children's book out there regarding breastfeeding. The pictures are great and really show the truth and beauty of the breastfeeding couple. The pictures illustrate how natural nursing is and that it is really done in just about any place, at anytime, by mothers around the world. My toddler loves this kid-sized book as it fits right into his little hands and he can easily carry it around with him. My older boy also enjoys looking at the pictures and remembering his nursing days. The other day I overheard him saying "milk makes my tummy yummy, but mommy's milk is better" as he poured himself a glass of cow's milk.A gem of a book for all!!
