Tiny Health Gut Test for expecting moms baby shower gift

Microbiome Support

Providing a Tiny Health gut testing kit for the expecting or new mama in your life is a gift that can not only improve her health, but the lifelong health of her baby after she has made changes based on her Tiny Health results! My test kit caught my borderline diabetes and gave me so many great resources for correcting it. Since our oral and brain health are both connected to our gut health, this is an extremely important test for managing everyday health needs.

Having the right power recline nursery glider chair for late-night feeds, mid-day nap traps, and reading time with your baby is essential in the postpartum period.

Calm Breath

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed. As a new parent, especially in modern parenting, where we think we need to still multitask and do it all, instead of taking a beat and moving slowly. KOMUSO gives moms the physical reminder to slow down and the opportunity to reduce anxiety and overwhelm through slow breaths via the Koko Shift Necklace.

Hands-Free Bonding

WildBird’s comforting ring slings are simple to use, easy to put on solo, and help keep baby close without the back pain. I’m a big fan of going for a longer-length ring sling to use the extra fabric (or tail) for added seat support or as a cover when breastfeeding.
