Definitely the fridababy flake fixer! Don’t use it everyday though as it does make babies head somewhat red(it goes down straight away). I’m currently using it for cradle cap and after 2 times it’s nearly gone! I have heard the Mustela foam shampoo for cradle cap is brilliant x

We used dentinox cradle cap shampoo and it worked perfectly for our little one! x

Looks like cradle cap yes, it looks very minor though. I personally left my little girls alone, it will go eventually without touching it. My little girl had it worse than this but not too bad so we left well alone and it just came away itself (minus a little brush over in the shower) and then her hair grew over it so. If it’s not bothering her, I don’t see the point in agitating it for aesthetics purposes, not sure babies care for that 😂 I’ve heard dipping a comb or brush into breast milk then using it on top can help if you can use that and want something a bit more natural

Gently rub coconut oil in it and leave overnight.

Frida cradle cap helps. When mine had cradle cap I put coconut oil on her scalp about 10minutes before her bath, then we used the Frida cradle cap system. It cleared it up after a couple of weeks.

Her hair thinned out quite a bit as the flakes came off, just a heads up. No one told me about that and it really worried me the first time.

I also heard that breast milk baths are good and oats but not sure if it works or not

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. 🩵

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?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

Can someone speak on drug screening and c section?

I smoked all through my first pregnancy and tested positive didn’t have any issues a social worker came in and spoke to me and hubby and that was it but this time I’m having an elective c section and wondering did they drug test you there?
