Whether you're a brand new parent or a veteran, keeping track of a baby's feeding schedule is not easy!

Roxie Alsruhe discovered this first-hand while caring for her newborn son. When their baby started losing weight instead of gaining, Roxie and her wife did everything they could to help him get the nourishment he needed.

Through the many sleepless nights and tiring days, Roxie kept careful track of each and every feeding, bottle, and expiration date.

But when it started to feel overwhelming and downright impossible to do, Roxie began to wonder why something hadn't been created to help keep track of it all.

And with that, Roxie set out to create it herself!

Join Heather and her guest in this insightful interview as Roxie shares all about her parenting journey, how she got the idea to create the HoopDee app, and what this resource does to help all parents better care for their babies and beyond.

If you're into learning about new ways to make your parenting journey easier, smoother, and less chaotic, then this is an episode you'll definitely want to tune into!
