edit data

Jennifer Harris spent more than 35 years as a registered nurse and lactation consultant in maternity wards and NICUs across Canada. She supported hundreds of families through their first moments of new life, and stayed with those facing unimaginable loss.

Her work taught her that grief and joy often share the same room. Some losses have no funeral: estrangement, adoption, addiction, miscarriage, and infant loss. Each leaves a mark. Each deserves a voice.

Her first book, The No-B.S. Guide to Breastfeeding, offers practical, unsugarcoated guidance for new parents. Her second book
Whisper Their Names: The Journey to Peace After Losing Your Child
gathers stories collected across decades, giving voice to grief, hope, and healing.

Jennifer Harris answered Noah Alexander's question: "If 'Whisper Their Names' gave me a superpower, it would be the ability to detect a clogged milk duct from three rooms away. What superpower does YOUR book secretly give readers?" My books would give every reader the ability to discern the motivation of the people in their life. To be able to understand if the people around them have their best interests at heart or if their motivation is more self-serving.

Jennifer Harris answered Hope Harrison's question: After 30 years watching mothers pump for premature babies they couldn't yet hold, what did you learn about what sustains a woman through that particular waiting? Hi Hope. Thank you for the question. The NICU is a very intimidating place. Everyone seems to be able to hold your baby except you. You feel, I'm sure, as if everyone is making decisions for your child. You don't feel like a parent, and this is even See Full Answer
