Showering with toddler

So essentially, now that my 15-month-old is super mobile, we do enjoy her solo bath time sometimes, but it's more of a standing up and put things on the side of the tub and dump them in production than a nice relaxing bath. What we have found that works for us is when I have a shower she comes in with me and I put all her toys on the floor and plug the drain. Obviously I give myself a quick rinse off first and make sure it's a nice temperature.
What I'm wondering is does anyone have a scrunchie option for shampoo/conditioner/ bath wash that I can feel comfortable having her sit in?
She's not a huge bathwater drinker but she plays with her toys and sometimes the toys go in her mouth... Also, I don't want her to get a yeast infection and I believe what I'm currently using (L'Oreal) could a potentially (?).
She prefers the bath ambience over the shower and doesn't like the shower head on her. I try to keep the tub with at least a few inches before draining in between, but I want to find something between her baby shampoo and something that works for my oily hair.

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? 🥲

Baby with chronic congestion

Hi everyone! My 1 year has been a congested baby since birth almost. She breathes through her mouth so often that it wakes her up multiple times at night and she cries and screams and then struggles to go back to sleep. She wakes up every 1-3 hours and sometimes can’t go back to sleep for 2-3 hours!!! Piriton is the only thing that seems to help her sleep mostly through the night but I can’t keep giving her that!!
Does anyone have tips as to have I can do or give her? Has anyone experienced? I have no idea when I’ll get an ENT appointment and I have no idea what he can give a 13 mo :( we are desperate for sleep so any tips are welcome!! We have tried steam inhalation, saline drops, vapour rubs and everything off the counter basically!

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?
