Validation! This strategy works for ANY age group!

Validation! This strategy works for ANY age group! The goal is to hold space and sometimes that means tolerating discomfort. Providing validation of others emotions has nothing to do with us having to give something up. This is super helpful when assisting our kiddos with those big feelings.

🍼HARVESTING COLOSTRUM WHILE PREGGO🍼⁣ ⁣ D

🍼HARVESTING COLOSTRUM WHILE PREGGO🍼⁣
⁣
Did you know you can collect colostrum while you are pregnant? ⁣
⁣
Your body will start producing colostrum around 16-20 weeks of pregnancy. This is normal! You’ll also notice breast, nipple, and areola changes during this time. Your body is prepping for after birth. ⁣
⁣
Sometimes colostrum can leak from your breasts during pregnancy, especially in second+ time moms who have previously breastfed. ⁣
⁣
If you notice leaking, *ask your provider* if you can start collecting the colostrum. Usually this is safe around 36 weeks when baby is term. ⁣
⁣
Hand expression is the only safe way to collect colostrum. Hand and electric pumps could induce contractions, so please avoid. ⁣
⁣
Even though this looks like a lot, it’s only 2mL! And I collected it over 2 days. I was 31 weeks with Royal when I did this, but my breasts were actively leaking so a bit of hand expression yielded this for me. ⁣
⁣
Antenatal (during pregnancy) colostrum harvesting is a great idea for those who:⁣
⁣
▪️have had previously low supply ⁣
▪️have gestational diabetes (babies often are born with low blood sugar so colostrum can be given in addition to formula to increase blood sugar) ⁣
▪️have had previous breast surgeries that could/have affected breastmilk supply ⁣
⁣
Head to “colostrum” highlight on my page to learn more, see the syringe I used, and for some articles. ⁣Want the blog post DMed to you? Comment MILK and I’ll send it!

Comment SCALP for a discounted link! Scalp eczema

Comment SCALP for a discounted link! Scalp eczema or cradle cap is common skin issue seen in babies and young children and is also called seborrheic dermatitis. This can be unappealing to the eye, but also can be itchy and uncomfortable for the baby or child.

Many times, this build up on the scalp and cradle cap can be from a disruption in the natural bacteria and fungi found on the skin. @yobeecareofficial is the first and only line of products that contain PROBYOME™, a patented blend of lactobacillus probiotic extracts, organic honey, organic turmeric & vitamin B12. What’s even cooler? The Lactobacillus probiotic blends and extracts that promote the growth of healthy bacteria which support a healthy scalp and hair and was hand picked by Dr. Peter Lio and Dr. Ruchi Gupta of @yobeecareofficial themselves. And even cooler – our very own Natalie @peds.allergyrn works directly with them at an Allergy Clinic!

Check out the before and after with @ppdeema kiddos - just incredible!! Safe for kids, babies, and adults, as well as during pregnancy and lactation.

Check out our blog post for more info. Link in bio.

Use code Bumblebaby15 ⭐️ Okay SO I know I can’t be the only one who has non existent trunk space if the third row is up or when that trunk is packed to the BRIM for traveling 😫

With three kids we can’t get away with not bringing a stroller. Zero chance. This is where the @zoestrollers traveler has been coming in to save 👏🏼the👏🏼day👏🏼

This travel stroller is ELEVATED! She’s only 13 lbs, has storage, the canopy comes literally allllll the way down AND she fits in the overhead bin compartment on a plane!

But our favorite part is that when we’re in a high traffic area that isn’t conducive to pushing a stroller, we break it down in four seconds and just carry it!

TRUST me, she’s a slay!

As the mama of three, active, little boys we are always outside running from soccer practice to a park, to a nature trail for a walk and we finally have found a stroller that can keep up! The Zoe Terra Stroller - a lightweight, compact, all terrain, crossover stroller which has proven itself adventure after adventure in our household. It has all the benefits of an everyday stroller; storage, cupholder, canopy, mixed with the features of a running stroller without the bulky design and heaviness. Head to the blog to learn more!

We never leave town without our @zoestrollers - our most loved is our Twin+! Been using it for 4 years and counting. I love that it has the option to add on a triple or make it a quad. We used the triple extension when Ro was little and all 3 kids would fit!

Traveling with the Twin+ is so easy because it is so lightweight, yet still so durable. The storage underneath is 💯. The Bumblebaby family favorite!
