Nope. I'm waiting for it the second time around. My first, it started around 5 months and ended around 7. Those baby hairs that regrew starting at 6 months are down to my collar bones 22 months later

Hair loss is usually due to lack of nutrition or too much nutritional output. Bubs tend to take everything from mums depleting her natural stores. For hair health (or overall nutritional balance) I highly recommend stinging nettle tea, it is an amazing herb can be found on most herbal websites it is packed full of nutrients minerals and super good for general health.

Personally I have avoided hair loss and in fact have found my hair is a lot thicker postpartum this is my second baby in the only thing I can attribute it to is my herbal teas that I drink.

I'm at that stage right now at 4 months pp. About the same time I had it last time with my first baby. Thank God I have lots of hair. It's just annoying seeing how much falls out in the shower and the floor after I brush it!

It isn’t actually true hair loss. The hair that you lose is just the extra hair that grew while you were pregnant, so you’re not actually losing out xx

Curious to see if it makes any obvious difference when it hits for me 🤔 my hair finally had a chance to recover from work stress when I went on maternity so is growing better than ever 😅 will be a shame if it all goes away again

Mine started 2.5 months in and I know people say you only lose the extra from pregnancy but I have both fine hair and thin hair overall and can say certainly mine is just coming out in scary amounts even compared to what it normally is.

Can't stop the hormonal shedding, but the baby blues postpartum hair vitamins are the best!!! Keeps more hair growing so less is in the shedding stage. I avoided the receding hairline with them because it was growing at the same time.

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.

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 🙂

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.

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.
