This is a book for you little ones,
And also a thank you to your special mums.
To celebrate breastfeeding, hip-hip-hooray,
From baby to infant and milkies all day!

Breastfeeding’s like a big dipper or two,
It’s up and it’s down, it’s full loop-de-loo!
I hope you relate to a milestone or two,
And little ones - look at the pictures, that’s YOU!

“When We’re Ready,” is a rhyming children’s picture book that celebrates the highs and lows of breastfeeding and co-sleeping into infant-hood.

With stunning illustrations from the talented Sungsu Heaven, it is a first-of-a-kind in its genre; not just a book, but a supportive companion for families wanting to feel seen and represented in children’s literature.

It is important to mention that this book is not about weaning. Instead, it is a book that captures the extraordinary bond that blossoms during those early years of breastfeeding and co-sleeping.

Emma Pickett, IBCLC Lactation Consultant says, "This is a precious book, with beautiful illustrations that honours a natural-term breastfeeding journey. I know this will connect with families and become a loved favourite."

I can't wait for this book to be in your homes x x

What a joyful read for the whole family!

It's a book my 2 year old Son keeps reaching for, and one even my 9 year old has enjoyed pouring over on her own. I love how we can all connect with different parts of the book, unlike many other stories of parenting or family life. My Son's favourite parts on shouting out that Mummy left the baby and the Mummy Superhero! Thanks for creating such a great book for us all!

A beautiful and moving portrait of breastfeeding

I absolutely love this book and so does my 18 month old. It is the only book about breastfeeding I've come across that isn't about weaning, and is a beautiful and realistic portrait of feeding and cosleeping. The illustrations are gorgeous, and it's such an empowering read in a world that often turns its nose up at extended breastfeeding. Thank you!

Gorgeous bedtime book

I ordered this book on pre-order while still feeding and co-sleeping with my 4 year old son. By the time it came he had dropped bedtime feeds to once or twice a week so it seemed to hold even more meaning for us both!
The wording is perfect, true to how we feel as mums but also allows us to change the words for breastfeeding/breastmilk to what our child understands. It will definitely be a special book to continue reading for years to come, even after feeding has ended

Such a perfect book

I’ve never felt so seen than I did when reading this book for the first time! Sometimes breastfeeding and co-sleeping can feel lonely, but this book is such a comfort. It’s also beautiful and funny. Thank you!

Beautiful!!!

I’m feeding my second baby right now, your book is beautifully written and heartwarmingly illustrated. It’s so lovely to see term breastfeeding and cosleeping normalised and celebrated without leaving out some of the real experiences of women!

It’s a fab little book that I will be reading to my boy for years to come. Thank you
