Losing hair!!

I started sending my baby boy to his grandmas house when he was three months old. He also had a head full of hair. Now he’s 7 months old and his hair still hasn’t grown back. What can I do or what has been done to cause his hair to fall out? First pic was before I started sending him to her. The second picture is now. Pic posted in another post

My son lost his hair at 3months and didn't really get it all back until 5months.

my baby doesn’t sleep on his back. He’s been like this since he was born tho. I just want it to grow back. He looks bald headed.

if the hair doesn’t rough or remind you of split ends in certain parts then the silk won’t be needed. My daughter would get this from back sleeping. We also use k18 and protein+fat heavy diet.

My son was born with thick black hair and his hair started falling out when he was around one to two months old. A lot of it was due to cradle cap. But most babies lose their hair before they are 12 months old. It’s very common and I know it stinks but it will grow back. Just give it time. My son is 6 months here in a few days. His hair has come back it’s not super thick yet. But it’s still an on going process.

What I did was I started using HobaCare 100% pure Jojoba oil baby care. I put it in my sons hair maybe 2-3 times a day and comb through it (he still has cradle cap so this helps loosen it) and he also sleeps on a silk sheet. He’s been sleeping on a silk sheet since he was 2.5 months old & I’ve been doing the oil since he was around 4.5 months old and both have made a significant difference! Hope this helps mama. Just know that you are doing AMAZING 🤩

My pediatrician explained that just like how we lose our hair around 4 months PP, babies do too sometimes. I think he explained that it’s like shallowly grown hair that we get when the hormones are at al ultimate high and the hair basically can’t survive the drastic drop and falls out. Apparently it’s similar for babies too sometimes. Also tons of babies get the bald spot in the back from laying on their back and thrashing their heads when soothing themselves

Over supply of milk

I am nearly 5weeks postpartum and I have such a big over supply of BM.
Has anyone donated / sold their supply, if so where do you recommend for this?

AITA

In the uk there is an outbreak of meningitis, in a specific area mainly. My BD has family from that area and decided to go and meet up with them, I said if he does then he cannot have contact with the kids for 7-10 days after incase he picks anything up. Am I being over dramatic? I reallyyy don’t want my young kids getting anything serious

I think its fair

Me and my partner agreed to sleep in 1 day of the weekend.
He doesn't find it fair to look after both kids (my 4 year old isnt his) while i sleep so he looks after the baby while i sleep and my toddlers at his dads and ill look after both the next day.
Straightaway it was pretty unfair as i let him sleep in until he wakes up 10-12
He wakes me up when baby starts fussing because he wants milk (doesnt need it)
I cant pump as i dont supply enough.
So i get woken at 9/9:30 to feed baby then i get him sleep then theres no point sleeping in as my toddlers being dropped off.
I also find it unfair that i get both kids to sleep most night, i get my toddler to sleep everyday hes home (4/5days) and i get my baby to sleep most nights with the exception of maybe twice a month as his dad struggless then about 95% of his thru the day naps.
I have also been unwell for a few months (tumor scare) and am waiting 18 weeks to see a specialist so im obviously petrified for that, so unbelievably tired and alot of aches and pains, specifically these pounding headaches ive been having.
After i had been up til 11:30 getting both kids to sleep lastnight and my partner falling asleep at 10 then him ignoring the baby cries all morning until my toddler woke up im fed up slammed to door and rold him not to expect to sleep in unless he gets the baby to sleep the night b4.
I keep having issues with him not feeling the wet from baby being sick or weeing himself or being able to smell it do about 98% of the time hes given to me i have to clean him up n change him.
Including at night, we agreed my partner would change nappies (1 a night at 5am) while i feed (2,4,5,6:30) but every night when i get him hes pissed through and my partner gets annoyed when i wake him up n moan about it.
Then the morning after hes annoyed at how much washing there is (thats his job) and moans about how often i change myself (baby constantly shits thru and sicks on me) and baby
Honestly im just so tired all the time

Baby clothes

Just out of curiosity, why do parents love zipper onesies?

Don’t get me wrong, I tried zipper ones it’s easy to zip in and out when putting it on the first time and taking it out, but I find it difficult when changing diapers especially when baby is asleep.

I prefer those kimono style buttons where it’s easy to button or too down button with crotch snaps.

Is everyone thinking the same or different? Lol

This might rattle some people

Ok, this might get a bit long, and a bit bumpy, so get comfy and buckle up.

So about a week or 2 ago, there was a post on here regarding sleepovers. Not letting their child go to them as you can't trust who'll be at the house etc.

Now, given recent incidents in nurseries and schools, plus my own experience back in the 90s, I am more concerned about sending my child to nursery and later school than I am to a friend's house for a sleep over.

The other day a man was jailed for abusing children at the nursery he worked at. A woman has been arrested for sleeping with an underage boy and then getting pregnant by a different underage boy while on bail for the first offence.

Young girls and boys get sexually harassed and bullied when at school, not all of them. But more than you think. And not just by other kids, but by adults who we as parents are trusting to look after our kids.

A sleepover, is a more controlled environment, with only a handful of people coming into contact with your child. A school, a club etc there can be 100s of people coming into contact with your child.

I was targeted at 7 years old by the owner of a prominent private school. Thankfully, I wasn't SA'd. In year 5 of primary school, I started to develop early, I was harassed by the boys and teachers made remarks about how my uniform didn't fit right, always "adjusting it" around my chest and legs.

Years 7-9 of secondary school were hell. But it was all under the guise of "we're just messing around". A teacher twanging my exposed bra strap (none uniform day) is not "messing around".

Boys pinning me down trying to rip open my shirt to see my breasts.

I fear for my daughter. I hope she takes after my father's family, flat chested.

We need to educate all our children, what is acceptable behaviour. And to come to us, as their parents should ANYTHING happen.
