It’s been exactly one month since Charlotte decided to stop breastfeeding. And when I say she “decided”, I mean – one minute she’s happy nursing, and the next she’s like “meh, I’m over it.” ? Girl has a mind of her own that’s for sure, and I’m just thankful I got to nurse her for longer than I did her big bro. It’s never easy letting go of that “baby phase” though and watching them go from being so dependent on you, to all the sudden over night gaining this new found independence. I can’t tell you how many times I get asked at the Chick-Fil-A playground how old she is, followed by “Wow, she’s a climber.” Uh yah, tell me about it – you ain’t seen nothin’ dude. I love her curiosity, but sometimes I just want her to slow down just a tad – because before I know it she’ll be talking, and then going to school, and then graduating, and…ok, deep breaths.
Another thing I’m thankful for as part of our breastfeeding journey, has been using Evivo probiotics to help support her gut health. I so wish they’d been around when Garrett was a baby, because we just knew there was something off with this gut – we just didn’t know what or why. Now there’s actually a handy dandy “Baby Gut Check” you can take that will reveal if your baby is one of 9 out of 10 infants missing the critical good bacteria, B. infantis:
Question 1: Were you OR your baby born via C-section?
Question 2: Were you OR your baby given antibiotics pre-delivery or post pregnancy?
Question 3: Does your baby have diaper rash OR 5+ watery poops per day?
When I first read this questionnaire – I had one of those “aha moments.” I was diagnosed with Group B Strep at some point in my pregnancy with Garrett, and so I had to be given penicillin while I was in labor with him. Had I known then what I know now, you better believe I would have had that Evivo waiting in the freezer to give to him the moment we got home from the hospital. But hey, that’s the wonderful thing about science – it keeps evolving with us and I’m just glad there are companies out there like Evivo who understand how important it is to support our baby’s gut microbiome early on to set them up for life-long health.

So “Bye bye baby. Hello toddler…” ?
Your little girl is so cute! Thank you for sharing your experience with this probiotics
It sounds like a really helpful product for all the moms out there.
It’s been such a blessing this time around ?
I wish my daughter would give up the mommy milk! She will be 2 this month so we are going through the difficult process of weaning. I too had Group B Strep during my pregnancy with her so I definitively will be looking more into this product!
I hear ya mama! I really thought that was gonna be us so I was completely shocked and caught off guard when she just up and quit cold turkey! I hope you can look into Evivo and use my codes ?
I had no idea that this would have been beneficial after my first was born, given that I had to have antibiotics during labor. Thanks for sharing!
I had no idea either and so wish it had been around with my first!
Pretty cool product! I wish that was around a few years ago …..my daughter is 11 now and my son is 8 and I so miss the baby ages. I want another so bad! BTW your daughter is such a doll! So gorgeous!
I know what you mean! It wasn’t around when my son was a baby and he so needed it! Thank you so much ? She’s a pistol but a cute one ?
Never heard of Evivo, but sounds like a lot of individuals would benefit from using it.
That’s why I love spreading the word!! It’s so amazing how much it’s helped our baby girl ?
It’s so funny that she just decided she was done one day! The toddler years are pretty fun though – welcome to the big kid club! 🙂
I know right?!? Totally unexpected but so her personality ? Haha oh man well my son is almost 5 and he had the terrible threes but I feel like Charlotte will def be worse in her 1-2s ?
