Going through this😩

nobody warned me about this 😫 just started 2 weeks ago and now I’m scared to brush my hair 😭 even more scared to use conditioner

It's honestly just a phase we all go through and will have to just GET THROUGH.. I tried several oils and vitamins.. nothing worked like it said too. Our hormones aren't normal and won't be for awhile so I'd say just do some scalp massages, wear a bonnet, use a light growth oil or spray and wait it out. Avoid brushing when dry too

Eat lots of protein, stay hydrated, and take your b vitamins. See if you can get a b12 shot from the Dr's if levels are low. Also, avoid tying hair up in tighter styles.

I’m a hairdresser and have seen this a lot. We collect 9 months worth of hair during pregnancy as we don’t shed any during due to hormones then after birth we basically loose the hair we should have naturally shed which makes it feel like a huge loss. It’s very normal but equally very upsetting to see. My advice is get some Plantir 39 shampoo for FINE hair and also the tonic and conditioner. It’s a fab shampoo for hair loss and helps your hair regenerate again. When washing and brushing be very gentle and take it easy on the heat products. Your hair will thicken again I promise 🥰 x

yes! This is the one I was recommended and seen a lot of good reviews about this

thank you 🫶🏽

I’m 4 months pp and my brush is FULL of hair every time I use it. 😭
My hair also tangles really easily now. It’s literally almost matted every morning when I wake up. I’ve tried braids and buns but doesn’t help.

The baby blues postpartum hair vitamins are amazing

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 🙂

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.

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.
