Mama's Milk



Celebrating the warm and loving bond between mammal mamas and their babies, this lushly illustrated, lyrical book shows little ones doing what comes naturally: nursing. A perfect choice for cuddling up with a breast-feeding child or the older sibling who wonders how the new baby gets fed.

   • A tender look at humans and animals breast-feeding in their natural habitats.
   • Promotes infant health and attachment parenting.
   • A thoughtful, supportive gift for new and soon-to-be moms.
   • Fascinating nursing facts included: Kangaroo milk is pink! Calf elephants may nurse up to 5 years!
