Motherhood and Evivo

This post is sponsored by Evivo but the content and opinions expressed here are my own.

If you are anything like me you didn’t know, until you became a mother, how critical the first 6 months of a baby’s life are to the development of their gut health. Did you know that bad bacteria in a baby’s gut is linked to a higher risk of autoimmune and metabolic issues later in life; this can include but is not limited to, colic, eczema, allergies, diabetes and obesity.

These concerns are why we started researching supplements that we could give to baby John to help combat the risk. During our thorough searches we stumbled upon Evivo and found the good bacteria B. infantis is missing from baby’s gut. Because I had a c-section, we discovered that the good bacteria that was supposed to be transferred from me to John, was not.

Before we learned of all of this we didn’t think anything was going to be different from what we had experienced with our first, Michael. The truth is, John was a whole other story. John was an angel the first night of his life then everything changed. He was super difficult to soothe and was constantly throwing up breast milk after every single feeding. I felt helpless at times when I couldn’t comfort him. I also felt immense mom guilt since I was paying ALL my attention to John and felt like I wasn’t giving any attention to Michael. Since I only breastfed Michael for about 6-8 weeks, my goal was to breast feed John longer. Breast feeding is not easy and there are so many challenges that I faced. John would constantly pop on and off while continuing to spit up a ton. He was always gassy and looked like he was in pain. I truly felt like I was failing at what I was meant to do.

We decided to introduce Evivo probiotics in hopes that it would help us and started noticing a positive change within a week. He was less fussy, gassy, and didn’t spit up as much as before. I wish we would have started it sooner. I strongly believe in happy belly equals happy baby. I highly recommend for all parents to look into this for their babies. This has really helped us out.
