A nice toddler's book that normalizes breastfeeding and self feeding  

post #1 of 12
Thread Starter 
I wanted to share a wonderful little book we found. We are always on the look out for books that incorporate breastfeeding as a factual part of a story, and this book, while simple, does this wonderfully.

The book is a board book and geared toward the early toddler set. The title is, Tucking In! Just Like Me! and is written by Jess Stockham. Here is a link: Tucking In

So, it shows an animal enjoying a food, and then you flip the flap and it shows a young child self-feeding the same food.

First one reads, "Mouse likes tasty oats," and you open the flap and there is a baby, self feeding (well, with a spoon) a bowl of oatmeal, and it reads, "me too!".

Second one reads, "Lamb likes warm milk," and you open the flap and there is a baby nursing with her mama and it again reads, "me too!". :

It is just so sweet and my LO loves the book so much...I just needed to share.
