About

11:38 pm. The baby is finally asleep, and I’m finishing my sixth pumping session of the day. My hands are trembling as I pour the milk into bottles for tomorrow. Then I see the pile of pump parts waiting to be cleaned, and I just want to scream. But instead of screaming, I made myself a sandwich, sat on the floor, and vented to the houseplants. I swear they nodded in sympathy—though they probably just needed water.

I see you, I feel you, caring for a brand new baby is really really hard. That’s why I created “Every Ounce of Love” to offer support and love to parents, and grandparents, of newborns. You’ll find checklists, charts, tools, and links to recommended products that make life a little easier. I’m here to help you take a deep breath and say, “I’ve got this!”
