Pro mama tip: when your toddler catches the cold virus going around and is too stuffy/uncomfortable to sleep, try getting into a warm bath with him. Add a generous helping of epsom salt to help with those muscle aches that we all hate so much. Chances are, after hours of restless pacing and rocking, your little one will finally relax against you and take a much needed nap.

***consult your child‘s healthcare provider immediately if your child experiences difficulty breathing or you have any concerns.

If any of our mamas have some extra milk languishing in their freezer, we have a family experiencing some medical challenges who could use a little donor milk to help them through this time. Shoot me a text if you’d like to be connected.

I truly have the best students ever!
Quietly and quickly setting up for a birth,
Offering labor support, encouragement, and gentle guidance to a mom who needs just a little more in that moment,
Calmly and smoothly responding to complications as a fluid team,
Seamlessly switching roles when needed,
Driving my car to the hospital and waiting so patiently while I make sure mom and baby are settled
Cleaning up the birth area quickly and thoroughly, even when it’s the middle of the night—-

Brittany and Emily are such a blessing to me and all the families we have the privilege of serving together! I had no idea how much I was getting the better end of the deal when Emily approached me about becoming her preceptor back in 2022. I’m so glad she did!

Good info to keep handy! Many of these suggestions would apply to many viral illnesses in kiddos, not just measles.

Midwife’s note: Aviva Romm is one of my go-to sources for herbal and natural health for mamas and little ones.
