Before we have a baby we know our life is going to change. I don't think we always realise how much it is going to change or even what is going to change.  These days our families don't always live close by and often our friends aren't having babies at the same time. They say it takes a village to raise a child but what if there isn't a village...

I cried when I had to give my first baby a bottle. She was three weeks old and wasn't getting enough food. She was sleepy and fell asleep in the bath. I knew she needed a bottle of formula but that didn't make it any easier.
