Why does the baby always have milk? the toddler wonders as her mother breastfeeds. The child's constant smiles, even when things get a little rough ( Why is Baby crying? Can we make it stop? ), and the cozy family home are in keeping with the book's positive focus. Also available: Waiting for Baby , You and Me , and Look at Me! Up to age 3.
