Today's MVP: Aquaphor.
If you know, you know.
Diaper rash.
Dry lips.
Toddler scrapes.
That random dry patch you didn't notice... until it hurt.

Let’s give a warm welcome to Jenn as an official part of the Milky Moms team 💜 Jenn has been with us since last summer, and from day one she has truly brightened our days. She brings the kind of positive energy that fills the room and makes everyone feel seen and supported. Whether she’s working hard to fit a patient in as soon as possible, helping behind the scenes, or offering an encouraging word, Jenn consistently goes above and beyond for the families we serve.
As a mom of three herself, Jenn deeply values having a supportive community for mothers. She often shares how much she wishes a village like Milky Moms had been there for her during her own journeys and that lived experience is exactly what makes her so passionate about being part of that village for others.

Please join us in welcoming Jenn in the comments below, and feel free to share any positive experiences you’ve had with her 💗.

See you this week.

Postpartum nutrition is about healing, rebuilding energy, and giving your body the care it deserves after bringing your baby into this world. Not ‘bouncing back.’ You deserve to prioritize your needs, too. Eat regularly and try to include these nutrients that support recovery and healing.
