Only since Christmas and not seen a difference yet but hoping over time it’ll help or I’ve seen nature spell hair oil is meant to be good xx

I am experiencing the same thing. My son is 4 months. The struggle is real. I was told to keep hydrating and taking prenatal. It will pass eventually. ❤️

I had this with my first. I can happily say it grew back thicker and curly. I used primrose oil xxx

Yess! I’m going through the same, I’ve added biotin to my daily vitamins hoping it helps. During pregnancy my hair got so thick & now it feels so thin!!

What happens postpartum is that there is a significant drop in estrogen. While estrogen drops, testosterone and DHT become more influential, which causes hair loss. You can use dht-blocking oils which is why rosemary oil works for increase hair growth. I personally like the Kesa postpartum hairgrowth oil. It’s a blend of 6 different oils (rosemary, peppermint, grapeseed, pumpkin seed, bhringraj and coconut), each of which block DHT. That’s why it helps regrow hair much faster. Just one year post partum and my hair is as full and actually better than it was before. This is the link! https://kesabeauty.etsy.com/listing/4419876081

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. 🩵

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 🙂

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?

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.
