It was National Rainbow Baby Day and I just couldn't talk about it...

i did something really selfish yesterday. i know it was #nationalrainbowbabyday and Olive is my rainbow baby to celebrate. but, although it’s a celebration of our babies, it’s still hard to not reflect on the pain, loss, and grief of how those miracle rainbow babies came to be. i just didn’t have it in me to talk about. and here’s why that was selfish... while that’s ok for me to choose, we have worked so hard to build a community and platform for YOU to be able to share what you need to too. and i didn’t provide that space for you on our social platforms. i needed to not talk about my story, but i still needed to give our followers their...

I was absolutely buried in feelings of love and gratitude. And then, about ten to fifteen seconds later, I was equally buried in questions about how to keep this tiny human alive and thriving.

"DAILIES" Welcome To Our Ollie Family!⁠

Turn Up the Sound & Press Play: DAILIES ARE HERE!⁠⁠ What do you think our #1 question is?We are always asked: “What should my little one wear under their Ollie?”This is the question that lead us down the path to developing "Dailies."We wanted to create something for your little to wear under their Ollie that would help do what the Ollie was designed to do... wick away moisture and assist with temperature regulation. What's next to your little one's skin is important to us. Just like the Ollie swaddle, Dailies are made with the same buttery soft custom moisture-wicking fabric that you have come to know and love about the Ollie!⁠⁠Our goal was not only to create something buttery soft and useful,...
