Our Story

Hi, I'm Heather! 

My son, Wilson, received his G-Tube right after his first birthday, after a rough first year of trying to eat by mouth! We immediately loved his g-tube; it was so much easier for him to get his nutrition and meds! He had energy and he started to show more personality. Had we known how positive it would be for him, we would have gotten his g-tube sooner! 

After his g-tube surgery, the question arose, what would we dress him in? As a small one year old, there were plenty of snap-up rompers still to choose from that allowed easy tube access. But those days were limited, as most "baby" style clothing stops at 24 months and shifts to more "toddler" 2 piece styles. 

"Just put him in a shirt and pants", I was told. However, Wilson is a very floppy child. He has no trunk or head control, and is entirely dependent on his caregivers to move him. While, sure, we could put him in a two piece outfit, it's a pain! The shirt rides up, the pants slide down, the shirt rides up again (man, is it annoying!). A one piece just suits him better, makes it easier to move him around, especially during therapies or play. 

But we came back to the problem, he was approaching the end of being able to wear baby rompers. 

I began modifying commercial clothing. Adding a kangaroo style pocket to the front, with a hole behind to access his g-tube. It was perfect! Until he began to outgrow 24 months...

So I said, how hard can it be to make his clothes from scratch? 

And here we are! 

I've been making Wilson's clothing since 2022 - I love the ease of these clothes. Zipper access to easily reach his tube (no trying to blindly attach the extension through a small hole), one piece outfits that don't get the comments "what cute pajamas!", and I know snaps get a lot of hate, but I promise it makes it easier to do a quick diaper check and put on AFOs! Like many other medically complex kids, Wilson drools a lot! Making his outfits also meant I could add a bib that matches his outfit of the day! 

After much wishful thinking, I'm taking the leap and starting this business, Love, Wilson, to share these outfits and other items with families like mine. There will be more to come, but I hope you enjoy my creations as much as we have. Thank you for supporting my very small business!

Love, Wilson (and Heather)
