Babies
Congratulations!! You have been chosen as the one to care for this tiny gift of life. What an honor and a privilege. And while there is so much joy that comes with having a baby in your home, we fully know that you’ve entered a new stage of The Trenches.
One that often involves little sleep, high emotions, confusion, uncertainty, and frankly, so much work. We believe that as Dr. John Trainer says, “Children are not a distraction from more important work. They are the most important work.”
So give yourself grace, sweet warrior of the best work. What matters most is your presence and love. We know you want to provide your tiny one with things that will help them without inadvertently harming them. So along this road of newborn freshness, we’ll explore common experiences and share favorite tips for baby wellness.
As a reminder, topical application is not common for the rst few months of baby’s life. Refer to the Safety guidelines and do your own research to determine what you are comfortable with.
