Up to you, but I asked my pediatrician if I could use coconut oil on my babies face to help get off some flakiness and she suggested just baby oil because using coconut oil can potentially cause them to develop an allergy to it!

Coconut oil yes the one in the jar. But blue magic will be to strong for the babies hair it might mess up the good hair that the baby haves. Just don’t use the coconut oil on the skin only in hair

I’d be careful using Blue Magic coconut oil on a 2-month-old because it’s made for adults, not babies. Baby scalps are super sensitive, and heavier products can clog pores or cause irritation. If you feel like their hair or scalp needs moisture, a tiny amount of plain, pure coconut oil or a baby specific product is a safer choice.

Just get yourself some plain coconut oil for the baby. Blue Magic Coconut Oil isn't just coconut oil; it contains petrolatum, fragrance (with potential irritants like coumarin and benzyl benzoate), which can be harsh for delicate baby skin.

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?
