I find coconut oil on its own to be dry, so I usually do either a spray bottle mixture of water, coconut oil, castor oil and some aloe juice I put it somewhere warm like in the radiator so they mix well.
Or I use a bottle with a comb on the end with the above oils but no water and work it in with my hands, depends on your baby’s hair and skin type.
I use it daily once a day, I always start off wetting the hair daily with a water and peppermint mix also sat on the radiator to keep warm and then put the oils and rub them in from the scalp to the hair tip

Kokoso Baby range is excellent.

I agree, you’ve got to be careful with coconut oil because it can trap dryness.

I use olive oil, like pure olive oil x

Agree, coconut oil alone too dry so I mix with olive oil and shea butter. I get the hair damp with a bit of water and the child farm leave in conditioner before applying the oil mix. But will give Toyosi’s peppermint and water a go when by little one is a abit older

Make sure if you’re using any oil on hair that you are doing a hydration routine before hand with actual water and then a leave in or moisturising butter otherwise the oil will stop hydration from entering the shaft as oil repels water and water = hydration this is why many people say oils are drying

CPS?

Something’s wrong with me. My LG was wailing & crying & screaming & all I did was watch. Didn’t feel like picking her up to comfort her & still don’t.. should I just turn myself in?

Imposter Syndrome

Does anyone else feel like you have imposter syndrome being a mom?

I had my first a couple weeks before I turned 38 and I had already accepted I wouldn't have kids (not by choice).

I remember going to my appointments feeling like I wasn't as pregnant or really pregnant like the other patients in the lobby were. I often catch myself feeling like this isn't my life and I'm playing house my child. I love him so much, but I feel like this just isn't real. He's 15 months so I've had time to come to terms.

Has anyone else felt something like this? How did you get over it?

Brest feeding 6 months plus

Hi. Silly question but how does people navigate Brest feeding when baby gets their teeth? I never made it this far while b feeding my other two so I’m not sure what the next stages will look like.

When to stop C curl and restricted blankets?

May be too soon but just out of interest. When is it safe to no longer sleep in C curl around baby/child? My girl is 10 months but very long and I can no longer do C curl well 😅. Plus her whole bottom half is past my waist now which is where I keep the blanket too.

Nap times

My baby girl is currently 14 weeks old and we have been struggling with naps for a while now. We manage to get her down a few times a day however she does not sleep longer than 30 min.. I know this is the length of a sleep cycle so it is normal but she l never seems to be fully rested especially in the afternoon. She often wakes up looking tired but refuses to go back to sleep, or if I hold her and rock her to sleep there is no way of putting her down again. The evenings are a battle because of it as she gets over tired. Any tips or advise on how to lengthen her naps?
