Looking for shampoo/conditioner recs for mixed baby

Hi all! My LG is 8 months old and is just now getting her hair in. We’ve been using Honest brand wash and shampoo for now but I’m feeling like we should get something more suitable. She is half black / half white. Her hair seems pretty straight, maybe a bit of a wave forming, but is started to feel a little more dry/course.

Right now her dad washes her hair 3x a week, is that too much? Should we be using other products to take care of her hair?

Please no judgements I just want to take care of her hair.

I just saw this post on the feed and I don’t have a mixed race baby, but we’ve been using honest shampoo and it also got her hair very dry, we switched to aveeno and it became much better so maybe honest shampoo isn’t that great idk

You can get nalas - that's made for mixed/black babies skin & hair. We use it on our LG, she's got a full head of curls (half Jamaican, half white) it's been really good for her

thank you!! we’re also 🇯🇲 family

oh thank you!!! I hadn’t considered this

Hy 🌹,
Washing with shampoo once a week is optimal. When doing baths, using water alone will do the trick.
Also after baths, u can use a drop of coconut oil- daily. At this age the less the better ❤️.

Compliments of the season 😘

She has baby hair so baby shampoo is fine...

We use nalas x

I use Shea moisture kids and I swear by it hun! The shampoo conditioner 2in 1 the detangler leave in conditioner curling cream and the hair styling gel!! I’ve tried so many products but swear by that brand. Also I only wash once a week xx

I've been using Almond oil and it's amazing. Bubbas hair is really growing.

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.

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?

How long did it take for your child’s circumcision to heal and you could give him a bath?

I’ve just been wiping him down with a fiber wash cloth but I just wanted to know from others experience on how long it took

Guilt

Does anyone else feel guilty for every little thing they do? I feel like I need to be entertaining my little one at all times. If I have to put her in the activity center to finish a task, instant guilt. In the car for too long, instant guilt. Replying to work emails instead of interacting with her, instant guilt. I know independent play is good for her but my brain thinks otherwise. Please tell me it gets better, I’d love to shower for more than 10 minutes without it feeling like the world is going to collapse.
