Thank you so much it was exactly what I was looking for and will be recommending it to all breastfeeding parents!

Book also includes a gentle-parenting user guide that how to wean using Booby Moon, night weaning prior, breaking the fed-to-sleep habit and various options for a meaningful goodbye ritual.
