What is the Flourish Fund Sleep Bundle?
As a sleep consultant it shouldn't be any surprise to anyone reading this that I would recommend a sleep bundle. HOWEVER, this particular sleep bundle that you can snag through The Flourish Fund registry really is the best!
We all know it takes a village to raise a child, and since they don't come knocking on your door, most mommas are left on their own to find one. I had heard this phrase a bunch during my pregnancy and before becoming pregnant, but I really didn't understand how much the support of others - being family, friends or postpartum professionals would make a difference. I was insanely naïve thinking that all my schooling would prepare me for the little baby I would bring home, and while it did certainly help, more help was needed!
Finding The Flourish Fund before my 3rd is born is going to be such a game changer for me, and I'm so glad that I did! Being able to register for items in addition to support is HUGE in making sure that both myself and the baby are able to rest and bond without the additional worry if we have lactation concerns, planning meal deliveries or if I'm looking for a postpartum doula.
If you haven't already, head on over and take a peek at what The Flourish Fund offers in terms of bundles to give or get, and the service providers. I promise you will be amazed!
Now, on to my favorite bundle that is offered! The "Get Some Serious ZZZ's" bundle. Not only does it offer items helpful for once your baby arrives, it includes support to help you and your baby get some sleep!
#1- It focuses on moms sleep
Yes, a lot of focus is on the new baby once they arrive, but what about momma? This bundle includes "All the items in this curated set are designed to help you drift off peacefully and naturally. Try Sleep blend on your wrists or temples and mist your pillows with our calming sleep mist. You can add the sweet dreams blend to your diffuser, and get that sleep mask on. Each deeply relaxing product is great on its own and even better all together! The Sleep Pouch includes Silky Sleep Mask, 4oz. Calming sleep Mist, 10ml Sweet Dreams Essential Oil, Double-Sided Sleep Roll-On.". This way, you can maximize your sleep while baby is snoozing.
#2- It includes items that aid in baby sleep
With the addition of a Dohm sound machine and Oli pacifier, this bundle helps you most of the way for the 3 biggest items I would say you need for a newborns sleep (just the swaddle is now needed!). In this post I talk about my favorite recommendations to gift a new mom or to register for if expecting, with this sound machine specifically mentioned! White noise does amazing things to block out external sounds to help a baby fall asleep and stay asleep, and a pacifier is shown to reduce SIDS. Here's a little more about the products.
"1. Dohm Sound Machine – Trusted since 1962, just plug in the Dohm UNO, flip the switch, then rotate the collar to find the best sound for you and your baby. Let the noise-masking magic happen for a natural sleep aid to soothe baby. The Dohm UNO features a simple and compact design that fits anywhere and blends unobtrusively into surroundings."
"2. OLI Pacifier – This pacifier was purposefully designed in the shape of mama’s breast. It’s made with medical grade silicone and means it’s resistant to bacteria and mold. It's also non-toxic, BPA free, phthalate free and more – so totally safe for baby!"
#3- It comes with a gift card for support
For some parents, their baby's sleep isn't a concern. There are some babies who pop out of the womb and just "get it". Those are the parents bragging about how their baby was sleeping through the night at 3 weeks and never stopped. Yea....not either of my kids. While there is a bit of "nature vs nurture" going on with a child's sleep. Some are sleep tendencies that a baby is born with. There's a lot you can do to aid in their sleep and help them develop great sleep skills early on! A $100 Flourish Fund gift card can also be found in association with this bundle. It can be used for an expert sleep consultant to help you get on the path to amazing sleep.
