Frida baby cradle cap

My baby has bad cradle cap. I finally decided to use frida baby hair mask and my baby scalp is so red and irritated and she lost so much hair as I was combing im heart broken. Anyone else experience this? I have got other soaps to try I will post in the comments but now I’m scared to try them bc she lost so much hair. I want to cry.

Hey use ginger, mint leaves, cloves, and rosemary boil it in water strain the water into a spray bottle and spray your child’s head her hair will grow and cradle cap will go away

I expected a little redness from the bristle brush and then the comb but it was just so so red and she seemed to be uncomfortable with the soap :( how long did it take for the redness to go down ? Did he have any hair loss?

We use Dr. Eddie’s Happy Cappy. It’s pretty inexpensive and you can get it on Amazon. My baby’s cradle cap was gone within 2 washes, didn’t irritate her skin at all (she had it around her brows too), and she has all her hair! It’s like the only medicated OTC shampoo and wash you can get. It can be drying if your baby has sensitive skin though so I’d recommend using a cream, not a lotion (cream is thicker), to bring the moisture back into your baby’s skin. Obviously don’t put the cream in their hair, but if you have to use it anywhere else like we did, it really helps.

My lo has very mild cradle cap and I use the mustela cradle cap shampoo and the comb we got at hospital with the tiny teeth to comb thru and I washed her hair every other day and she still has a head full of hair and barely any dryness in her scalp now … I’m sorry this is happening she is such a cutie 💗💗💗

Put Coconut oil on a few hours before shampooing and shampoo with Cetaphil Baby

Avatar

I tried this !! Only about 2 times with the coconut oil and was using cetaphil but the wash only seemed to be making it worse and I couldn’t tell if the coconut oil had helped or not

Avatar

thank you 🫶🏽 I’m going to try that if the natural remedy listed above doesn’t work. Im so sad over the hair loss 😩💔 my intuition told me to try the mustela shampoo first but I didn’t listen bc I heard of frida baby more smh.

Avatar

definitely going to look into it ! Two washes and gone is amazing! Baby’s scalp hasn’t been flaky since ?

Avatar

It’s normal for them to lose their hair, it isn’t the product that is causing the baby to lose hair. Don’t fret it grows back!

Avatar

baby oil soak the babies head and use a cradle cap brush to brush it then wash your baby’s hair! worked miracles for my baby

Avatar

i also use an oatmeal shampoo to keep the scalp hydrated!

Avatar

Not at all! I ended up using it a third time just to make sure but now we’re back to using CeraVe

Avatar

yes most say that but shes about 3 months and no sign of hair loss before this my first never lost any hair either

Love my husband. Love my kids. But…

I’m 32 weeks pregnant with twins. I take care of my 4 yo, 2 yo, and 1 yo. I barely have energy to stand anymore. I cuddle and watch movies with my kids all day at this point. My husband is less pushy in this pregnancy in wanting to be touched or love up on me. But I feel more like a tool these days more than ever. He gets frustrated (not to a crazy degree) but I can tell he huffs because he’s probably sexually frustrated from me not wanting to be touched on. (my boobs are super sensitive atm) I love having the babies part, but the pregnancy also now has me feeling like a baby making machine. And a tool with big boobs made for touches and my husbands pleasure. Ofc I love my husband and kids, but with my hormones all wack, it really doesn’t feel the same when you’re not turned on. It’s so hard for me to get turned on. I’m uncomfortable all the time in my own body. Babies moving in there all the time. My children cuddle me all day but get rowdy at the end of the day, so I end up getting touched out and I can get irritable when my husband tries to touch me affectionately. He doesn’t have the tact necessary for me right now, when I wish he wanted to go in for a normal comforting hug I’m let down more often than not, there is almost always a boob groping involved as well. I tried to just let him touch me last night so he could get it out of his system, but he could tell I felt tense. Wish my boobs weren’t such an uncomfortable place for me to be touched. Idk why I’m making this post. Probably just to vent. Wish men were equally as emotionally intelligent as women. Wish I didn’t feel like I still owe him something because he’s picking up a lot of the house load and yet I still need to ask him to do more before these twins arrive. He’s tired every day when he comes home, so he takes a shower sometimes works out, and helps get the kids to bed. So it’s a struggle getting him to help any further than that. Weekends are my only time to get to him. But it’s a struggle to find time on weekends too. I know if he wanted to he would. But there’s just no drive.

Maternity leave Employment rights?

I have 6 weeks left of work and they have completely changed my job spec including my job title and all my responsibilities, they have done this ahead of advertising my maternity cover apparently to fit business needs which I am fine with but i explained as long as it doesn’t effect me before I go. They have now turned round and said they want me to do the training for it before I go and want me to sign a variation in contract asap. Are they allowed to do this? I thought you had the right to come back to the same job within 26 weeks and I haven’t even left yet and they’re changing it? I was going to see what the job was when I got back and go from there but now they’re wanting me to sign this change in contract before I go I don’t know what to do, do I have to sign it ?
