The Story Behind This Book

The joys of pregnancy were quickly ended when, at 30 weeks, I developed severe preeclampsia. My baby was born weighing only 3 pounds 2 ounces and instead of developing a close breastfeeding relationship with my son, I found myself having a very close relationship with a lovely aqua blue breast pump. Our hopes of breastfeeding didn't materialize and I began a year of exclusively pumping to provide breast milk for my son.
