Cheryl & Joey's Baby Registry

"Brown, honey, and bean paste color please!"

"For cloth diapers!"

"Screenless storyteller/ learning tool! We would LOVE the 'My First 100 Words in Mandarin" card for this one so baby can learn Mama's native language and also have an awesome toy that tells stories! Can add the "My First 100 Words in Spanish" too. Sharing and teaching Baby his culture and heritage means A LOT to us. THANK YOU!"

"Cantonese please. Sharing Mama's native language and teaching BB his culture and heritage means A LOT to us. Thank you! :)"

"Lend us an ear or shoulder to cry on, hold the baby so we can shower/ take a nap/ work out, help us clean/ organize, etc. Offer us some body work, acupuncture, play some games with us, set up a picnic in our backyard/ local park, take mom and/ or dad out for a little adventure or tea/ coffee, etc. ANY care and time for us will be much appreciated as we navigate life as new parents <3"

"Classic Chinese yin (fluids) nourishing soup"

"Joey and Cheryl will need the most support with postpartum care, cooking (feeding themselves), cleaning, etc. Cheryl and her family still practice traditional Chinese postpartum community care where instead of focusing on buying physical items for the baby, the village (family & friends) focuses on providing food, time and care for the new parents, and healing and breastfeeding mom. Which decreases the chance for postpartum depression and increases milk production. Caring for mom = caring for baby & the whole family. ANY nourishing broths/ soups/ stews are welcome. They just require time and love - what Cheryl & Joey will need most as new parents."

This recipe is THE postpartum food that Cheryl's family grew up with. Every woman in her family has eaten this as a new mama. It's not expensive, but just requires time and love - what Cheryl & Joey will need most as new parents."

"These are ready-made bone-broth seaweed soup packets based on the quintessential traditional Korean postpartum soup Miyeok-guk that is given to every new mom to replenish and heal from childbirth and nourish milk production."

"Cheryl needs to get fed and get replenished to heal and breastfeed. Lets gift her some good meat/ bones for broths. Postpartum care is JUST as important as pregnancy care in Chinese culture (something that Cheryl and her family practices and values highly). Instead of focusing on buying things/ physical items, the village (family and friends) focuses on nourishing and healing the new mom. Which decreases the chance for postpartum depression, increases milk production, and supports healing. Caring for mom = caring for baby & the whole family. ANY help with access to this would be greatly appreciated!"

Herbs for baths and soups, teas, seaweeds, goji berries, seeds, etc are very important postpartum foods in Chinese culture. ANY help with access to this would be greatly appreciated - local options are also very welcomed!"

"Labor/ birth and nourishing a human is one of the most physically demanding events in a human's life. Cheryl will only receive partial paid leave so any help will be greatly appreciated especially as her body heals from growing and birthing a human. Let's take care of her by providing some funds for some much needed postpartum care."
