hair protection while sleep

hey there! i’m a ftm and my baby came out with a whole head of hair but recently while she’s sleeping she’s tossing and turning so much that it’s getting super knotty. i brush it when she wakes up however idk if anyone else has any suggestions on how to protect her hair while she’s sleeping, like creams or anything
it’s pretty straight but it goes into a mohawk on the top. when it’s wet it curls but doesn’t curl when dry
thanks for any advice she’s 5 months currently

You could try to use a thick hair cream or gel after her bath time when you brush her hair back & try to find a night cap or a silk head wrap that you can tie around her head.

Honestly, as a curly thick hair girl- I used to wrap it in a towel or a bun/pony tail. I don't think your baby girl's hair is long enough for that tho unless it's okay she looks like Pebbles (which is a cute compliment).

shower infront of children

Is it weird to shower infront of your children, or your children see you naked?
At what age should this stop?

I’m just looking at what everyone’s thoughts are as I have a 7 month old and at the moment it’s hard for me to shower without him getting upset.

We contact nap atm, otherwise I'd shower when he sleeps!

It’s easier to bring his play mat into the bathroom whilst I shower so i can at least wash, else i have to wait for my husband to arrive home at 5/6pm.

Keen to see what people's opinions are and how other people do this!

GIRL DADS TAKING DAUGHTER TO BATHROOM IN PUBLIC

If a girl dad needs to take his daughter to the bathroom in public and there are no family bathrooms … I swear video online of a dad saying he uses the women’s bathroom but always knocks and announces ‘girl dad helping my daughter go to the bathroom’ and I love that idea and mens rooms are disgusting but wanted to see everyone’s thoughts

Ebf bottle refusal

I want to introduce a bottle so my partner and mum can feed baby every so often but she hates it! Have tried breast milk and formula and am using mam bottles. She also isn’t a fan of dummies. Goal is to give her formula as I hate pumping!

First time using Milton cold water sterliser…

When the 15 mins is up do you just take them out and put them straight back together?
I know it says you can leave them in the solution until use but I don’t want to do that as I have 8 bottles to sterilise and can only fit some at a time.
I have mam bottles but my microwave isn’t tall enough to fit the bigger ones in it to sterilise them🤣 didn’t have this issue with my son as previous microwave was taller🤣
