Who would you turn to if your child was born with a rare condition?

Christy's Courage

When Christy Cook was born, 50 years ago, her esophagus was not connected properly to her stomach. She had to have 22 surgeries to get everything right! She was 4 years old when she was finally able to eat food like other kids her age! The condition she suffered from is called Esophageal Atresia (EA/TEF), […]

World Breastfeeding Week

World Breastfeeding Week In August 2013, I wrote a post about breastfeeding for the site Mommifried. I’m sharing it here today in honor of World Breastfeeding Week. The Truth About Breastfeeding, originally posted on Mommifried. As we launch into World Breastfeeding Week, expect the Internet and social media sites to be filled with images of mothers […]

Buying Breast milk on the Internet = Bad Idea

April 13, 2015 By katbiggie 4 Comments

I was searching for information for my monthly health articles the other day and came across a slew of reports about some testing that investigators performed on breast milk being sold on the internet. Quick clarification – I’m talking about unofficial sellers of breast milk, NOT your legitimate donor banks. We’ll get to the results […]

Tiny Superhero

March 27, 2015 By katbiggie 2 Comments

A few days ago, my sweet survivor baby Tiny asked if she could rest with my “Kathryn Bear.” I reluctantly said yes. This Kathryn bear is so very special to me. It was hand made by a volunteer for the Molly Bears organization, and it weighs exactly the same amount that my Kathryn did when […]

When Breast is Best

February 26, 2015 By katbiggie 4 Comments

I have never taken too much of an interest in the debate over breast feeding vs. formula. I was breastfed, and I intended to at least try with my own children (although I never realized how difficult it could be!) but I knew plenty of people my age who were exclusively formula fed babies and […]

Are You At Risk for Preterm Birth? World Prematurity Day

November 17, 2014 By katbiggie 3 Comments

World Prematurity Day

When I found out I was pregnant with my third child, which surprisingly turned out to be twins, I never thought twice about having a preterm baby. I had carried two babies to 40 weeks and 1 day each. The first had come on his own (thankfully so, because he had a nukal chord and […]

Every Newborn Action Plan

Every Newborn Action Plan – Officially Launched on June 30th…   Newborn health. A topic that has pretty much defined me for the past almost three years. Having lost a 2 day old, this is a topic that will never get old to me. No mother should have to watch her baby die… certainly not […]

Join the Discussion on Newborn Health

July 7, 2013 By katbiggie 2 Comments

Every Newborn Action Plan

Tomorrow, July 8th, there will be a Twitter discussion on global newborn health.  As you know, the topic of newborn health is extremely important to me. It is amazing to me how many infants and newborns still die each year. There are ways that we can help the poorest countries in the world reduce their […]
