Cradle cap

Hey lovely’s, does anybody have any recommendations for cradle cap my little girl is 9 weeks and starting to get a flaky scalp. I usually use the Johnson’s shampoo and conditioner but is there anything better to use? I also use Kokoso coconut oil in her hair should I keep using this?

I used baby shampoo and a soft bristle brush to rub her head in circles. I got most of it off that way and then moisturize with coconut oil:)
She only has a very small dry spot now!

If you breastfeed. Breast milk is amazing for it and dry skin

Specifically the cradle cap one, not the shampoo.

Johnson’s ingredients aren’t all that great, i highly recommend installing the Yuka app. It lets you scan the barcode of baby products and shows you their rating out of 100 for their ingredients and their level of potential harmfulness and irritants. The Child’s Farm shampoo is much better, using this twice a week on my 7 week old’s scalp with the Frida Baby cradle cap brush worked wonders. I’d also massage coconut oil into his scalp right before washing it and let it sit for a wee bit and it seemed to really help!

Personally I boycott Johnson’s

If you can pump then just as is on the scalp and leave for a bit or mix with shampoo

I can’t pump much. I pump about 1/2oz. not enough for a feed so I would throw it in the bath. My baby had bad dry skin. Now it’s super soft 🥰

thank you! X

We used dentinox cradle cap shampoo, the first time round when she was little it cleared up really quickly, this time round (she's nearly 2 now) it's taking a bit longer, but then we wash her less less these days.

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵
