A Loving Weaning
Winema Wilson Lanoue
This gentle guide supports families through the emotional and practical journey of weaning — whenever and however it happens. Winema Wilson Lanoue offers a compassionate, respectful approach that honours the parent-child bond, encourages responsive timing, and provides affirming stories from a wide range of weaning experiences.
Why It’s Included:
Weaning is rarely just about stopping milk feeds — it’s about transitions, emotions, and relationships. This book reflects our values of connection, mutual readiness, and emotional safety during all stages of breastfeeding. It offers thoughtful guidance without pressure, and validates that weaning can be loving, not abrupt or traumatic.
Who It’s For:
Ideal for parents approaching weaning, whether gradually, suddenly, or with mixed feelings. Also valuable for peer supporters and professionals looking for ways to counsel families through weaning with kindness and clarity.
“There aren’t enough books about weaning. This fills a gap that still has lots of room for more.”
