Dry/damaged hair on a 1 year old

Hey mommas, looking for a little advice here! My son is 15 months old, and his hair is doing this funky thing – it's wavy and curly on top and at the very ends, but the hair at the back is super dry, almost like hay, and looks kinda damaged. I did a little digging online, and it seems like it could be from friction while he's sleeping, so I'm thinking of getting some silk pillowcases. I'm wondering if anyone knows if this will get better over time, or if we'll just have to cut it off eventually? Also, any recommendations for products that might help? I'm already using hair oil every day, and that helps a little. Thanks in advance for any tips!

6week old pretty much slept through the night?!

6 week old baby slept through her usual night feed. Usually wakes at 3am and 6am. Plenty wet and dirty nappies. Was last weighed a few weeks ago and had gone past her birth weight. Due to be seen and weighed again in 2 days. Is more awake during the days now. Having both breastmilk and formula. Is this OK? She had ger last feed at 10pm Went to bed at 11pm and woke up on her own at 5.20am. The clocks had obviously gone forward and u almost feel refreshed after a longer sleep!!

When did your baby start sleeping through the night?

My baby is 7 weeks old. It’s early for him to sleep through the night yet but I was curious to know what you’ve experienced.

And did you do anything special to make that happen?

It is 3am . Your toddler wakes in the night having wet the bed.

You can't find a waterproof sheet but you can find a normal sheet for his bed.

You are pretty sure there is a waterprpof sheet in your 11 month old's room.

But your 11 month old only just got to sleep after a half hour of being awake

Do you...

Clocks changing + late wake up

My LO woke up around 8.30am (would have been 7.30am obv) which feels illegal 😂 although there are definitely worse problems to have and wondering how to work naps now?
He normally naps twice a day and has 1.5 hours for each, although sometimes will have a longer nap in the morning and then a shorter one in the afternoon. His wake windows are around 3/3.25/3.5 so it’s going to be a late bedtime as it stands.
Thoughts? Should I cap his naps so I can put him to bed earlier and get things back on track or just let things take their course? He’s likely to eventually get back to an earlier wake up anyway.

Fussy baby

My 12 day old has been fussing since 3am (4 hours). She had a 50 minute feed at that time and has been on and off the breast since but falls asleep very quickly when on, I have burped her, given a formula top up, walked around tried to soothe but nothing is working. Anyone else had this, is it just normal newborn behaviour or any other ideas of things to try?

I don’t like my baby today

I have two littles, 2 and 3 months. My husband is military and for the first time since our youngest was born, he’s gone for the weekend for training. This was my first real solo parenting experience with two kids, and I’m really hoping it gets better and this feeling goes away but I really don’t like my baby today.

My son is currently crashing out over bedtime in his room and I have to be in my room getting his sister to sleep and all I can think about is how much I wish she wasn’t here so I could go to my son. It’s not a gender thing at all, it’s a “I’ve known him longer and had 21 months of molding our lives together and now suddenly this screaming thing is ruining it” thing.

I love her but I really don’t like her. Hopefully just tonight.
