Kylie Hodges

Kylie Hodges is a mother of one from Manchester, England (originally from Australia). After having Joseph at 27 weeks gestation, she started her blog, Not Even A Bag of Sugar, in an attempt to process her emotions and get some clarity on her experience. Two years on, and the blog has grown.

Kylie regularly writes about issues affecting preterm babies and their families. She also does extensive volunteer work with charities in the UK that are involved with premature babies and preventing preterm birth.




Joseph turns 3 next week. He loves dinosaurs, cars, trucks, buses, watching workmen, and diggers. He also loves reading books and watches too much television. After a bumpy start, Joseph enjoys robust good health and is meeting all his developmental milestones.
