Cradle cap how long it lasted ?

FTM, Hey yall I know we’ve seen multiple post about cradle cap and what some did to manage it. How long did it last for you baby!? Bc I feel like I’ve tried multiple things and it just seems to come back worst.

I’ve tried coconut oil, breastmilk and coconut oil. Mustela shampoo, combing with fine comb and it’s been like 3 weeks, not sure what to expect it to be on my baby, it’s even come down to his forehead 😣🥴 my son is already 9wks and it started around week 6

My LO got cradle cap on her face vs her hair. I ended up having to get a prescription of anti fungal cream to apply to her face. I did notice some scales on her scalp after they confirmed cradle cap on her face. I bought the frida cradle cap shampoo set & that seemed to help & i also used the fungal ointment on her scalp. That also helped.

I use the frida cradle cap to wash and the 3in1 to brush off the cradle cap 2x/week and it’s been keeping it at bay long enough for my boy to grow hair back.

Mine had mild cradle cap and I also tried those things and it made it worse. I started doing olive oil and letting it sit for 45-60 min and washed it out every single day

Oh and brush her hair 2x a day. In the morning and after the wash

Thanks for sharing! Will try something different hopefully it helps manage it

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
