Product Information

Booby Moon is special because it has a magical element that appeals to the child and also sets up a beautiful ritual to complete the breastfeeding journey. This is a used book - there is no escaping the fact it has been read by someone else and it will show signs of wear and previous use. We didn’t do the balloon ceremony thing, but I would remind her that mama’s booby milk went to the moon whenever she would ask to nurse.
