Nos Gusta Amamantar / We Like to Nurse

By Chia Martin

Book Overview

This bilingual children's picture book is the Board Book version of Hohm Press's highly-successful We Like to Nurse. A classic in the field, with over 300,000 books sold to date, this book draws attention to our kinship with all mammals, using simple text and showing delightful full-color illustrations of animal mothers naturally feeding their babies. The illustrations and text in We Like to Nurse focus on both exotic animals, like elephants and giraffes, as well as animals that children may see every day like cats and dogs.
This book is a celebration of the mother-infant bond that is naturally established through nursing. Because of its commitment to family health and the well-being of infants and children, Hohm Press is proud to present this new user-friendly format for a title that stresses the benefits of human infant breastfeeding. This book joins We Like to Nurse Too, and Ready to Wean, in our Family Health Series, along with other titles directed toward conscious parenting and education, like Free Range Learning and Conscious Parenting.
The book also takes a stand for the health of the environment, honoring the Earth and all her creatures. We believe that introducing young children to the nursing habits of baby mammals can foster a love and concern that will grow to protection of the Earth we love.

My toddler son LOVES this book!

My son is turning 18 months old and I bought this book for him about 6 months ago -- it is one of his favorites. He loves to see the mamas and the babies and to name the animals. The illustrations are perfect for toddlers -- richly colored, accurate, yet simply done. Contrary to what another reviewer said, the illustrations are a real plus - they are sweet pictures that bring home the message that nursing is natural. Great book!

One of my daughter's favorite books--and mine too

This book is beautifully done. The pictures are simple and done in bold colors. A variety of animals are shown nursing and, at the end, a human mama and baby say, "We like to nurse." My daughter (11 months old) reaches for this book over and over again, which is the true test of a book! I wish it came in a board book, however, as we already have some tape on the pages, attesting to how much it is loved!

Great Book!

I am so excited I found this book! I love reading and wanted my son to get the same appreciation for books I have. This book lets him learn to love books and see children and animals nursing! I want to nurse my son for an extended time and it is hard to find encouragement and this book gives me and my son the view of other nursinglings. Thank you so much!!
