Let’s Talk About: Top Ways To Prevent Diaper Rash with Pinxav

If you are a mom, chances are you have or will have a baby with a diaper rash. It’s inevitable since it is such a vulnerable spot for your baby’s skin. In fact, you’ll have to change about 6,000 diapers in your baby’s early years and 75% of all babies will develop diaper rash at least once every six months! But after two children and a lot of learning, trial, and error, I have found ways to prevent it as much as you possibly can – even thought it will still happen.

 

 

I know diapers are expensive, but I have found that changing your baby’s diaper as much as you can will help. I typically change my son’s diaper every 2-3 hours, except overnight. I have also found that not using a wet wipe during each diaper change helps as well. I tend to let his bottom area air dry even if he’s just laying on his changing table for an extra minute or two while I sing him a song or play a quick game with him. I have also found that not not tightening his diaper too tight helps as well and always having a diaper rash ointment on hand to use regularly helps tremendously. I keep some at home and some in the diaper bag. Being prepared as a mom is half the battle of potential issues that may arise on the go!

 

 

But what diaper rash ointment is worth the money? I have found that one of the hardest parts about being a mom is finding the best products to use for your children. I have been on the hunt for years for the best diaper rash ointment and I finally found Pinxav (prounnced pink-salve). It is made with zinc oxide, clove leaf oil, aloe vera, and Vitamin E so it can also be used for sunburn, scrapes, burns, cuts, bug bites, and other skin irritants you or your children may endure. It has even been used as a sunscreen for surfers, a chamois cream for performance cyclists, and a protective barrier for the elderly. It’s been trusted since 1927 and now I know why! 

 

 

Started in 1927 by Milford Harris of Cleveland Ohio, Pinxav is a company built on values. Harris worked with a team of pharmacists and doctors to come up with a diaper rash ointment that was predominantly zinc oxide, reducing unwanted additives and replacing them with natural ingredients so parents had peace of mind when putting it on their baby’s body while at the same time healing their skin of an unwanted rash.

 

 

In fact, Pinxav uses 30% zinc oxide, which is more than any other competing brand. To learn more about zinc oxide and read about all of the product’s ingredients, click here! When Milford Harris passed away, his wife Lillian Harris took over the company becoming one of very few female CEO’s of her time. She earned her graduate degree at a time when very few women even went to college. She was all about social justice and giving back and it bled into running Pinxav until she was 97 years old. As a working woman, this is so inspiring to me!!!

 

“As a true family run brand, Pinxav has always been rooted in the belief in creating a product that heals and protects our most vulnerable in order to support healthy, happy families.”

 

And after 90 years, Pinxav continues to be a company that gives back and has a social responsibility component. They are not just concerned with healing skin, but also healing communities and those in need and making a difference. They give back to a cyclist team for the Aids Ride and Beyond Differences, a nonprofit that was created to end social isolation in middle schoolers. And as a breast cancer survivor, I love that Pinxav has aligned with ZeroBreastCancer (ZBC) – a nonprofit organization that promotes  breast cancer prevention and overall health and wellness for individuals of all ages.

 

 

I am all about education and prevention at an early age – especially when it comes to being healthy. I still may have been diagnosed with breast cancer, but if I knew the things I know now about breast cancer and prevention, I would have had a better grasp on my overall health at a much earlier age. Knowledge is power and ZBC encourages young women to be healthy so that their bodies can develop according to the timetable that is right for them. 

 

 

Early puberty can be caused by a combination of several factors including too little physical activity, poor diet, lack of sleep, too much stress and excessive exposure to chemicals that disrupt normal hormones and has been associated with greater health problems for girls later in life, including increased lifetime breast cancer risk. ZBC has created an engaging series of short YouTube videos with fun tips on actions to help girls slow down or delay puberty.  You can learn more here”

 

 

And right now, if you use the code ZBC on the Pinxav website you will get $1 off your purchase they will also donate $3 to Zero Breast Cancer And you’ll get FREE SHIPPING on every order – no minimum purchase!

 

 

I love that Pinxav has a Happiness Guarenteed motto and I know you they will exceed your expectations! Give them a try and let me know what you think!!

🇺🇸 What a monumental day in history we had t 🇺🇸 What a monumental day in history we had today! 🇺🇸

As soon as we woke up I started educating my children, specifically my daughter, on what the inauguration meant and why today was such a special day in history. We both were glued to the television as we watched @kamalaharris be sworn in as the first Black South Asian woman Vice President and @joebiden be sworn in as the 46th President of the United States. We also were powerfully moved hearing @amandascgorman - the youngest inaugural poet in history recite “The Hill We Climb.” 

My daughter was so excited to participate and recite the Pledge of Allegiance with the rest of the county and she was so proud to see and be a part of history in the making. I haven’t been to Washington D.C. in about 8 years but I promised I would take her one day when the pandemic is over. 

In the meantime, I have a fun fact for you! Did you know that President Joe Biden and I both graduated from the same university? Yep! We both went to @syracuseu 🍊 And in fact, @joebiden is the first @syracuseu alumnus to become President of the United States!

And since I work from home, it can get quite noisy and distracting with my husband and two children here, so sometimes I get my best work done in the comfort of my own bed. And the best part is that I can have my new @crane_usa “4 in 1” cool mist humidifier on at all times with essential oils to help with overall wellness and since it comes with a sound machine I can block out the other noises in the house! 

And at night, it helps my sinuses as I sleep, especially when the dry air of the heater is on, and it has a nightlight so my kids can see where they are going in the middle of the night when they inevitably need water or a hug! 

This is our 6th #cranehumidifier style and it’s my favorite one yet! Check out my stories for a closer look! 👀 #happyhealthyhumidity

{New Blog Post} “How to Teach Children Gratitude {New Blog Post} “How to Teach Children Gratitude” 🌱✨🌸

Throwing it back to one of the first mommy and me photos I ever posted on my feed because I’ve been teaching my daughter about gratitude since she was this little, possibly even younger (she is two here for reference)! 

Gratitude is such an important virtue and must have trait to build a child’s character. It also shows therapeutic benefits when you show gratitude to others, so why wouldn’t you want to make it a priority to teach and instill in your children? 

In this blog, I have suggestions for how to teach children gratitude broken down by ages and stages from infancy to teenage years, while also including some conversation prompts, and links to my favorite gratitude journals for busy families that we use here at home! 

Find the direct link to read in my bio and stories! I also published similar articles on @todayparents and @redtricycle if you follow me there! #drkimblog
DOUBLE TAP if you agree!! 🙋🏼‍♀️ I am DOUBLE TAP if you agree!! 🙋🏼‍♀️

I am that mom who wants to do it all and when I get overwhelmed or start suffering from a major case of burnout, I feel guilty if I take a break instead of giving my body and mind permission to slow down or even stop. 

As moms we often feel guilty if we take a break or believe we are perceived as weak if we ask for help. I have learned that the more I ask for help and the more time I take for myself, the better I am for my children. 

Guilt is an emotional response to something you perceived you did wrong, but when you experience unnecessary guilt, it’s counterproductive to healing and helping you with what you need most. So give it a try and let me know how you are going to take a break and not feel guilty about it this week below in the comments! ⤵️ #drkimparentingtips #theparentologist #drkimparentingadvice

The collection is all about organization, kindness, and friendship. My favorite piece of the collection is the “Daily Kindness and Joy Journal” that boldly says BE KIND, BE NICE, REPEAT on the front cover but I am also pretty obsessed with the Hello Kitty x Erin Condren Pencil Case and Vegan Leather Padfolio!

For the last 3 years I have spent my career therapeutically helping families and children of all ages on the Autism Spectrum. Play has been a fundamental way for many of my clients to communicate if they are non-verbal. And some of my clients have had to be taught how to play with a toy or another person. The play ideas listed on the blog can be used with children with or without special needs. Play is a universal way a child can explore their world in a way that makes sense to them and cultivate imagination, creativity, and fun! As a Registered Play Therapist, I love the work I do and couldn’t be prouder of the progress my clients have made with play over the years! #drkimblog

As a Registered Play Therapist, play is the foundation to the way I help children conceptualize and conquer the world. Play is second nature to children and the way they respond to many of life’s obstacles. Sometimes as parents, it is easy to get into a power match with your children, especially when you want your children to comply with a request and they won’t budge. When this happens, we need to change the way our adult mind thinks and switch it to the way a child thinks. Instead of giving them a punitive consequence, try these play recommendations that can be used with children as young as toddlerhood all the way to adolescents! #drkimblog
