"I got this book and loved the beautiful words and lovely illustrations. My 16 month old nursling loves this book as well and usually ends up nursing herself by the end of it. When I finish the book she signs for "more" which is her way of asking me to read it again and again. One time I had to of read it at least 12 times in a row!!! I have patience to read it multiple times like that, but also this book is truly that lovely and easy to deal with reading over and over and over as an adult. I highly recommend it for mothers nursing beyond infancy, as well as mothers expecting a new baby with older siblings.
The facts are overflowing with animal names (Platypus babies are called puggles. did not know that!) and interesting nursing facts (Foals nurse every thirty minutes!) so it is an amazing teaching tool in that way. Plus, it shows how biologically normal breastfeeding is and a diverse selection of mothers (Not just white women.)
Last but not least, there are two pages that have a daddy in it (One is a cosleeping picture with mama nursing and daddy sleeping next to her. The other is a daddy holding his son as they watch a mama hamster nursing her babies.) which is always a cute touch and my daughter (A total daddy's girl) points out the daddy every time because it is special to her and she enjoys books with daddies too.
All in all a wonderful book and I highly recommend it."

- Beautifully illustrated in the style of the cover image of the calico cat, each page features a unique mammal mama with her nurslings. The first page has a human mama nursing her baby in bed, papa sleeping beside them, as the sun dawns through the window. "Cuddle little baby warm and tight, Mama's going to feed you day and night," it reads, with its accompanying Spanish translation. The book names each animal and their young in English and Spanish. Each page contains a short rhyming line or couplet - perfect for any age! Mammals featured are seal, pig, horse, monkey, elephant, bat, otter, platypus, kangaroo, armadillo, coyote, whale, dolphin, bear, raccoon, hamster, cat, and human. Included are everyday life illustrations of mothers nursing or feeding their babies at the park, a father with his son and their hamsters, a mother wearing her baby in a sling, and a breastfeeding mama snoozing in a chair with her infant. On the last two pages are the thumbnail images from each page with interesting facts about each, such as, "kangaroo milk is pink." The book contains 23 pages of text.
I got this book in paperback together with the Nursing Nina Cat for my two-year old nursling on her 2nd birthday, and I am very pleased. She is fascinated with baby animals, especially cats. The combination gift was perfect, as she played with the Nina Cat and kittens while I read to her. She asked me to read it over and over again and thoroughly soaked up the information and pictures of the baby animals. My older daughter (age 8), who was also nursed as a baby, also enjoyed reading this book and learning about the different baby animals. She is learning Spanish.
My ten-year old son notes it is a good book to teach small children about breastfeeding in a sweet and interesting way. This book can also be a source of inspiration and affirmation to mothers and fathers who choose to offer this amazing gift of love to their children.
Another book that would compliment this combination nicely is, "I Love You As Much," by Laura Krauss Melmed. - Adorable book. The pictures are sweet, and the words for the story have a nice rhyming rhythm. I think my daughter (who is 2 and still breastfeeds) will enjoy it (it's a gift and we haven't given it to her yet). There are few enough words per page to keep the attention of a younger child. The facts about the animals are in the back of the book, not integrated into the story, so a child likely wouldn't bother reading those much (or paying attention to them) until they're a bit bigger. I got the hardcover book and while the pages are normal book paper (and therefore are unlikely to hold up any better than any other non-board book), the cover is nice and solid. I definitely recommend this book to others who have breastfeeding toddlers or who want to normalize breastfeeding.
- I love it and my daughter enjoys reading it before bed. I love that it so subtly shows nursing as common, unremarkable. I have other children's books about breastfeeding that read like you're telling the child what breastfeeding is or trying too hard to tell the reader that it's "normal". That may be good for an older sibling who isn't familiar with it or other family or friends who want to explain it to their children, I don't know. But my toddler is familiar with all types of eating including breastfeeding, bottle feeding, solids, and cups. This is great for my daughter because it shows other animals and their babies and what they are all called, they just happen to be eating too.

All in all a wonderful book and I highly recommend it. - This is a super cute book, but it's unfortunate that it's not a board book. The age group that this is suited for really needs it to be a board book. By the time my daughter is old enough to not rip paper pages, she won't be nursing anymore, and this book won't appeal to her as much. I bought it along with the Nina Nursing Cat available on . It's a stuffed cat with three kittens that nurse from their mama (attached with magnets in the mama cat's nipples and the kittens' mouths). It's so sweet and looks almost exactly like the cover of this book- they should be sold together, really. Anyway, I thought I'd read this book as she held her kittens, but because this isn't a board book I hardly ever get it out for her to see. Such a shame.
- I really was looking forward to enjoying this book. I bought it mostly for the Spanish translation. Buyer beware! If you want the bilingual version, the hardback is only in English!!! Apparently the board book and paper back are bilingual. Going to give this one too a friend and order the bilingual one again for me and my son.
Otherwise, love the drawings and message. Very cute and perfect for nursing families.
