|
Hi Reader, SO SORRY THE LAST EMAIL HAD THE WORNG LINK, THE CORRECT ONE IS BELOW. We're on Day 7 of your Baby Prep Advent. 🎄 For a lot of new parents grandparents are at the center of their village of support. Whether you live near your parents or in-laws or if you plan to travel there often it can be helpful to lighten the packing load by keeping a few things at their house. Today's gift will help you figure out what they might want to have on hand. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🎁 YOUR DAY 7 GIFT: If your baby will be spending time at a grandparent’s house, having a few basics there can make life much easier. This list includes the essentials that help grandparents feel prepared. Many of these items are easy to find secondhand on Facebook Marketplace or from friends who are ready to pass things along. 👉 CLICK HERE to grab the Grandparent’s Gear List 🎁 🤔 NEWBORN NUGGET Let me help equip you if you get advice.... You may hear something like this. It can be helpful to share the new informationSo why did things change? In 1989 researchers launched the Back to Sleep campaign after discovering that placing babies on their backs significantly reduced Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). It can be tempting to try tummy sleep, especially when others encourage it, but the data is consistent and clear. Back is best. 🙌🏼 ONE SMALL THING TO DO TODAY Forward this video to the grandparents-to-be. I walk through the recommendations that have changed since they had babies, including sleep safety, feeding, and gear. Some things feel hard to say directly to excited grandparents who might not realize their advice is outdate - don’t worry, I’ll say those things for you. 🎁 If you're just joining the Baby Prep Advent you can get the previous days' free gifts HERE. Excited to give you tomorrow's gift. I'll talk to you then! xoxo, Valerie Trumbower, PCD(DONA), CLC Certified Postpartum Doula, Certified Lactation Counselor P.S.
