Hair drying tips

Any tips for babies with long hair? I’ve got into the habit of giving a quick blow dry as it’s bed straight after bath and I don’t like her going to sleep with wet hair!
I worry about using too much heat though and the damage that would cause. How do you guys manage babies with long hair?

I do the same as a new mumma with a barnet baby - also want to get my little girl used to it as we'll be swimming soon and equally don't want to leave the pool with wet hair as we get closer to winter
I use the cold button and hold quite a distance away (further than I would my own, even on this setting) as the hair is so fine it dries fairly quickly anyway
I've also been combing it gently as I'd like her to be familiar with the feeling of brushing her hair - if it keeps growing like this I've got a mini Rapunzel on my hands!
Hope this helps 🙏 🥰 x

yes! Thank you. I also do use the cooler setting and try and keep it a distance. It used to dry really quickly but it’s much longer and thicker now so just seems to take longer - and little one doesn’t stay still while I do it anymore!!

Aww little wriggler, to be fair mine is just 3m so she's sat on my knee when we do it
Hadn't pictured the scene when she's mobile 🤔 ...but now I'm wondering what I'd do?!
How old are they? Can you make a little noisy game out of it?

mines 14 months now and is all over the place! She’s happier if she’s holding the hairdryer but then not much hair drying actually happens! 😅. I think maybe I need to buy her a little toy one so she can play with that while I actually use the real one!

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

Work + baby?

Hi everyone I’m a struggling mom needing to go back to work but trying to avoid sending my baby to daycare I’m desperately trying to find work I can do with my baby as I won’t have any one I trust to babysit. If anyone knows anything please reach out. I just want my baby to be safe but living in this economy with one income is just impossible. Please fellow moms im begging for anything!

Advice

Ok so I had this friend and she would always talk about how it was so embarrassing to post your face on tinder or any kind of dating/friendship platform because it makes you look desperate. This has stuck with me soo much over the years, I always post anonymously. I really want a friend just 1 friend that I can go out n do stuff with and we just click but I refuse to post my face on any friendship platform, also because I might see someone I know and I literally HATE the idea of that. I feel so stuck, because I’m not the type of person to go out a lot I go to work and come home and when I do go out to parks and stuff there’s literally never any moms that try to strike up conversation. I really wanna get on bumble bff to try it out but it makes it to where you have to post your face. PLEASEEE any advice would help. I get bumble bff go through the people and then I delete it within like 5 minutes because I see someone I know.
