Cradle cap
Looking for recommendations. He’s 6 months and I have just left it but it’s not getting better. I’ve seen coconut oil is best, can I just use any sort for him please?
(UK based products and hopefully something I can get from Superdrug as I’m doing an order 😂)

You can wet bubs hair and use a spoolie brush to gently brush out the cradle cap or buy a cradle cap cream rub it in and comb it out
Mustela cradle cap cream !! Used this two times and it cleared it up and she had a bad case
I swear by Dentinox shampoo and a little silicone scrubber! Got rid on first use on both my babies!
Equal parts breast milk and coconut oil, mix in a paste and leave it on the scalp for 30 mins before a bath then I use Frida comb kit in the bath
I used coconut oil and actually left it in til the following bath time (we wasn’t going anywhere) this really softened it and I also used a cradle cap treatment shampoo. My LG’s was quite bad as I’d also left it and couldn’t see it under all her thick hair but it did the trick and it’s never come back x
If other methods dont work. The tiniest amount of head and shoulders will help.
Mustela Cradle Cap Cream
We have used olive oil and it works a treat
Fab. Thanks ladies. I will give some of these a try 🙏🏼🤞🏼
Kokoso coconut oil is good (can be found in boots)! Hope thats helpful

Switching to formula
I will have exclusively fed my 3 month old breastmilk in 2 weeks time and I think for my mental health I want to combo feed. Does anyone have any tips on this? I currently pump 7 times within 24 hours and would like to reduce that so I can live without having to pump every 3 hours. Any tips or advice would be appreciated. Xxx

Locking toddlers bedroom door
Do you think it’s ok to lock 3.5 year olds bedroom door? She keeps coming out and waking up the whole family so struggling to function. Or is it cruel to do that?

Co sleeping position
Is it okay to co sleep in this position with my 5 and a half month old? She mostly sleeps in her cot but sometimes she just wants me. Her face is completely uncovered and chin isn’t on chest etc. I know it’s not ideal but she seems to sleep so much better like this than on her back. My arm is cradling her. I don’t breastfeed and she doesn’t feed during the night. Need reassurance that it’s okay or an explanation why it isn’t😥

Husband tired
My husband keeps telling me how tired he is. He will tell me he’s exhausted that he feels broken, that he’s so tired, he’s so tired he doesn’t want to take her for a pram walk in the evening (he usually does though!) etc etc. I find it very frustrating. I obviously appreciate that we can both be tired and for different reasons he obviously goes to work while I’m at home with the baby. However at the moment she’s going through the four month sleep regression, her sleep is absolutely terrible, I’m up constantly throughout the night. I’m barely sleeping most nights. He is currently sleeping in a separate room so he basically has a full night sleep with no interruptions at all and this is every night of the week. It frustrates me to hear him talk about how tired he is when I know he’s getting a full night sleep every night whilst I’m getting up every 45 minutes with our baby and then having to do a full day of care the next day….
I don’t want to mention it to him or moan because I don’t want him to feel like he can’t feel tired or express his tiredness but I feel like it’s really lacking awareness and it’s really irritating me !

Baby chokes on my milk at almost every feed
I exclusively breastfeed and my little one is 7 weeks old, never had any issues before now but this past week he's choked on my milk at almost every feed and is gulping it like he's never been fed.
He generally feeds well, I alternate breasts each feed so like he'll feed on the left then next feed on the right side, but they seem too full for him and he coughs and chokes like he can't handle my milk flow. If i hand express beforehand so it isn't as full for him he is dissatisfied with the feed and wants the other side which is then too much for him and he's sick🫠🫠
Has anyone had anything like this? What did you do about it?, I feel awful watching him cough and he's spilling milk all down me which is not ideal when out of the house.
