I see two comments were made but I can't read them...

Probably cradle cap rather than dandruff

How often are you washing and what with?

Cradle cap!!! My pediatrician says you could can use a tiny bit of head and shoulder normal one unscented on baby scalp and it should help go away but only do that 2 times a week rest will have to be normal baby shampoo I use to take of cradle cap with my nail while she slept😂 I found it more easier then scrubbing the shit out of her head😭

Wash less often actually. You can find baby versions of shampoo for cradle cap but honestly most will just out grow it and it's not that big of a deal unless it's really covering a lot of their scalp

Most likely cradle cap, my kids are currently struggling too. Pediatrician said to put aquaphor on it which I do and it helps but once it’s gone and I stop having them looking like a human chapstick it comes back lol

So so.ething that is helping me for my 10 month old. My husband found these silicone face scrubbers at Ross I think. They are super flexible and soft so when I wash her hair I've been using that to loosen it all up and it comes out easier amd getting less and less now.

Massage with coconut oil and then use this

Wash hair more and it will disappear

Definitely wash the hair more often and use coconut oil to keep the scalp and hair from being dry really helped with my daughter

Use hair oil or grease with coconut oil make sure the scalp is always oily that’s the better way

Personally before a bath I used to soak my son’s head with baby oil and get a comb and scrape it off

I don't think washing more will help.

Head and shoulders would work

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.

Friends

I’ve been on this app for almost 5 years now I still can’t find one friend. I just need a friend. I’m so fucking lonely.

Spicy chat

Anyone up for a spicy chat, I’m horny

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣

Any moms in the DMV area?

Hey! 💕 I want to start a group chat or something so we can all connect.

STD rates and body count

Saw an interesting video and I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this topic!

So std rates are at an all time high as we all know. Do you think the mindset that body count doesn’t matter has contributed to the significant increase of STDs and HIV?

Secondly if someone says that body count doesn’t matter do you believe they are less likely to practice safe sex compared to people who believe in more traditional values?

I can’t put all the combinations in the poll so feel free to comment just yes/no answers
