Lily’s first moments of life were amazing... and terrifying. Soon after she was born, Lily was placed in the Neonatal Intensive-Care Unit (NICU). During her week-long stay, we noticed she had been spitting up. However, our concerns were overshadowed by the excitement of bringing her home. I couldn’t wait to feed Lily — it’s that bonding time every mother lives for. But each feeding, breast or bottle, would leave her in extreme pain. It was heartbreaking to watch our little girl bring her knees to her chest, arch her back, and cry.
