Mixed race baby hair

How are you treating mixed race/curly baby hair? My son’s hair is very long and slightly curly but starting to get dry and damaged as well as knotted. Are there any baby safe hair products for this age?

I use baby Shea moisture leave in detangler with coconut oil for shine. I use a mini paddle brush and comb out his every other day. Spray bottle will work great too.

-try a bonnet at night

my baby is mixed as well and i noticed that if i use oil it’ll make her breakout and weigh down her hair
i say try the leave in alone first
if no improvement then try oil

I depends on what I want to do in his hair, so if I just want to leave his hair out and curly and for his ponytail I use a little bit of water and use shea moisturizer leave in conditioner, for his braids I use the shea moisturizer detangler.
Also here and there after his night time bath I put his shea moisturizer night time deep conditioner
When I wash his hair I also use their brand before I used aveeno shampoo but realized it left his hair drier

My son doesn't have mixed race hair, but he does have autism and cutting his hair is not an option. It's long and curly and I had a hard time managing it and finding good product for it. Everyone in this group is so kind and there are so many inspiring posts with great product recommendations.

Mama needs new friends ✨

Hey mamas 🤍 I'm going to be honest — I'm at a season in my life where I'm craving real, genuine friendship. The kind where we actually check on each other. Where conversations go both ways. Where we can laugh, vent, cry, and just *be* without it feeling one-sided.

I'm a stay at home mom of 6 (yes, 6! 👏🏼) and my days are full but my cup feels a little empty in the friendship department. I'm looking for women who get it — the chaos, the beauty, the exhaustion, all of it.

If you're a mom who values deep, reciprocal friendship and you're also out here looking for your people — drop a 👋 below. Let's actually get to know each other. 🤍

Leaving your baby

Has anyone else not left their baby to be looked after by someone else (not dad) yet? I still don't feel ready but am being told I should be by now

Random but when you use a vibrator do you need to hold your lips open for it to touch the bean ?

It gets annoying because even if I open my legs I still need to hold the lips open to touch the bean and I have to do it the entire time my lips are literally sealed closed 🤣

I need an AI app recc to talk to.

I have no family. I have no real friends. Just one that I text. But she’s 8 years younger and isnt a mom. I genuinely don’t talk to anyone other than my partner and our toddlers. I’ve seen some people use AI? Or a chatgbpt? I dont know but if someone could suggest an app that I can just talk to… I would love to have a friend or something instead but this is probably for the best…
