Hey, mamas!
We just nailed the school drop off line, and the stores already have Christmas trees next to the Halloween candy. 🎃 Sound familiar, mama? Here's your quick October check in.
October Means More Than Pumpkin Spice
- Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Know your normal. A lump that lingers longer than a clogged duct? Call your provider.
- October 15: Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. Light a candle at 7 p.m. and check on the mama who may be grieving quietly.
- Halloween: The scariest thing this month? Forgetting a pump part. Keep a spare set at work. 👻
What Keeps Me Going
The days are long, but the years are short. In motherhood and in business.
What keeps me going is knowing I'm making a difference one Mommy Scrubs™ at a time. Soon I hope it's many at a time, because we're exploring wholesale partnerships to get our patented scrubs to more moms.
I can't share everything yet. But I'm so excited. Stay tuned. 💛
3 Quick Tips Before the Holidays
- Know your PUMP Act rights. Break time and a private space to pump, for up to one year after baby's birth. Confirm it in writing before holiday schedules shift.
- Prep the night before. Pump bag by your keys. Fewer morning decisions, more energy. (OT approved.)
- Daylight saving ends November 1. Shift pump times by 15 minutes every few days so it's gentle on you and baby.
Your takeaway: You don't have to do it all. Just keep showing up, and give yourself grace.
Stay pumped,
Cherie
