Cradle Cap

My 11 week old has a few dry skin patches on her scalp, it’s not worrying me or bothering her but I was wondering what shampoo is best? Currently just using Johnson’s orange bottle because it smells like baby😂

I personally just used normal shampoo then used a wee silicone thing of amazon and rubbed at my sons head while he was in the bath then when he got out I put oil on his scalp and rubbed again. But there is shampoo for cradle cap x

I've been using detinox cradle cap shampoo on my little ones head and it's worked really well x

I'm not using any shampoo (and don't intended to until she's closer to 1 y/o), and I am not a fan of J&J as there are quite a lot of harsh chemicals in their products.
We just wash our little one with warm water, pat it off, and then use a pastry brush to moisturise her scalp with olive oil. That was what was recommended by our GP x

I use nalas baby, I check products for my baby on the yuka app before buying. We bought the dentinox shampoo for when he has some cradle cap patches xx

My son is almost one and I’ve only recently removed the small patch of cradle cap he had. It took a few goes, but I just used his regular Childs farm shampoo along with the fridababy flake fixer 3-1 set. It’s a sponge, then a little soft exfoliater (it’s super gentle) and then a little comb. Within about 3-4 uses all his cradle cap is gone x

Will never touch Johnson’s stuff all those chemicals. We use weleda or neals yard.

I use noodle & boo and the Frida baby comb and brush set. Helps very well

Highly recommend using the Kokoso brand, they sell coconut oil and they actually do a cradle cap cream and body / hair wash and that sorted my daughters out within a few days! They have a bristle brush and a silicone one to help get rid of the flakes and exfoliate, really reasonably priced too and the stuff lasts! Xx

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?

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 🙂

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.

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.

I feel like just a milk cow

Hi I have a 16 day old via c section, I'm a FTM never having been around babies before as I am the youngest of my household and from a small family. My husband is fantastic with our little one. But ever since I've had the baby I just feel like the only thing I'm good for is producing milk. I feel disconnected from my husband like the only reason he's around is because am producing milk. We were having some issues before the baby and we're struggling it took a while to feel like he was onboard even though he said he was from the moment we found out. I dunno if I'm feeling like a spear part because I'm lacking confidence with baby or because I feel like he wouldn't mind being a single dad. Is this postpartum hormones or something else?
