Help hair loss

I’m currently 2.5 months PP and I’m experiencing hair loss. I have thin hair in general but it’s getting thinner as the days go on. I’m losing more and more hair each time I brush my hair. I was wondering if anyone has gone through this and what has helped. It’s starting to affect my self image.

Hey girl! Same. I’m on spirinolactone and it seems to help a little bit. I think I’m gonna start taking prenatal again because dang I had beautiful hair

I could make a whole wig with the amount I've lost 😭

I lost LOADS of hair with my first (around 4 months with him) and it was definitely a hit to my self esteem. They say prenatal can help, but they didn't for me
It's hormones trying to go back to normal and, while you're pregnant, your hair's normal fall cycle slows down significantly. By 6 months PP, I was starting to get baby hairs where I lost. Now 21 months PP (from my first, 2 months with this one), that hair is down to my collarbone. But it did kill me that I lost a good amount from my temples. I ended up getting fringe bangs for awhile to hide how much I lost

Rice water I remember seeing it on YouTube years ago for postpartum shedding

It’s totally normal at the beginning of last week. Mine started coming out too.

Prenatal or postnatal vitamins work. Pink stork has post natal vitamins that seem to be helping!

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

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.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

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.
