Wellness Guide For Little Ones
First things first! I am not a medical professional. I have never claimed to be and I would never pretend to be either. I am just a passionate mama bear who wants to take the very best care of her babies and thought it might be helpful to share some of the things we use/have used recently/like to keep on hand!
Wellness Guide For Little Ones
Daily Use:
Some of the things we do to stay above the wellness line and care for our bodies each and every day!
Play outside! I can’t stress enough the importance of fresh air, bare feet, and sunshine. I send the kids out to play every day, multiple times a day, rain or shine.
Whole foods! I could write up another entire post about this- but food is medicine. It is supportive, restorative, nourishing, and healing. Choose food wisely!
Water- lots of it! (We have a reverse osmosis water system on our sink and fridge and we love it!)
Supplements- my kids take daily:
Multivitamin
Omegas
Probiotic
TRS Spray
Oils- some we use daily:
Wellness rollers- Thieves, Lemon, & Frankincense
Seasonal support roller- Lemon, Lavender, & Peppermint
Diffusing 24/7 based on need!
We also go to the chiropractor once a month to keep our bodies well adjusted, aligned, and performing optimally. If you’re in the KC area and need a recommendation for an office- I have one for you! 🙂
Below the wellness line:
Earlier in September, both of the boys came down with a cough/cold of some sort- and with Lochlan being only 2 months old at the time, I sprang into action- FAST!
I can’t emphasize enough how important it is to have all of the items you will need/want to use BEFORE you need it. It’s such a comforting feeling to know that I have an entire cabinet filled with oils and supplements that I can reach for to support my family whenever a need arises. And it will! We’re humans, with functioning immune systems, that need some TLC sometimes.
For Finn:
Lots of water, sleep, and rest!
Upped the supplements! In addition to his daily supplements, I also added in D3, Elderberry, and Super C chewable vitamins.
Increased the oils! Normally I do wellness rollers morning and night, but when they’re under the wellness line I will roll it on their feet + spine every few hours throughout the day.
Detox bath! Epsom salts + oils + bentonite clay + oils in the diffuser in the bathroom.
Thieves chest rub, lots of Snifflease, diffuser in his bedroom during naps and bedtime (this also works as a humidifier!)
For Lochlan:
So much breastfeeding + nose frida!
Gentle oils- Frankincense, Snifflease, or Seedlings calm in baby oil or baby lotion.
Extra trip to the chiropractor!
Baths with Mommy with diffuser running in the bathroom
