When do we start using regular shampoo and conditioner in our kids hair??

I know it might sound like a dumb question but at wat point did u guys start using regular shampoo and conditioner on ur babies hair? As of now I still only use Johnson & Johnson baby shampoo on her hair and detangling spray but no conditioner. Should I be using a conditioner with it or regular stuff?? Tbh she doesn't have A LOT of hair (picture posted) so I don't find it necessary especially since I believe that most shamp & cond aren't good for our hair anyways but I wanna know wat u guys are doing or did or how long u waited.

Johnson & Johnson is notorious for putting harmful chemicals in their baby products. I recommend switching to anything else.

Whenever you want her to cry from the shampoo in her eyes

J&J is toxic also

After a year when all of her hair started to finally grow in. I started with shea moisture and hated it switched to Fenty and loved how it made her curls look and hair feel. I also use the baby shampoo/wash here and there when I don’t want to use mine and with that I just started using the Pipette brand.

I say do a little bit of research and find something with mostly natural ingredients. That way you don’t have to worry about harsh ingredients /chemicals.

I used my shampoo when I was already taking my girl a bath and realized I ran out of hers 😅 everything was fine! Just made sure it didn't go into her eyes....I only use the shampoo when I don't have hers available but for the conditioner I have used it since she was about 15 months because her hair is really curly

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?

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

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

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

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 🤣

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
