Bath products

When did everyone introduce bath products e.g. body wash/shampoo for their babies? I’ve not done it yet as my partner has eczema so I’m nervous I strip babies skin and make it dry

I have really bad eczema but have been using Johnson’s baby top to toe body wash and the baby shampoo since his first bath at 3 weeks old as well as the body lotion before dressing him! He’s had no reactions etc

i got told to wait a month by my midwife because there skin is very delicate and don’t want to risk a reaction x

I have eczema and I think showering more is actually better for my skin. You don’t want natural oils on your skin it carries germs that eat your skin and degrade your skin. I have found that the more I wash and the more I mosisturize after I wash the better my skin feels and looks. Get some Castile soap and shower before and after you use it about every other day. So cleanse twice and use Castile soap in between. Your skin will be buttery soft

Or cocoa butter

Don’t use coconut cuz it give you pimples because coconut oil is very thin and easily gets into your pores

From first bath. With both of my kids my first used to be bathed everyday my second is bathed every other day because she had flaky dry skin when she was born but all cleared now and I use epimax as moisturiser x

I have 3 girls and with my last daughter I waited 6 to 8 weeks after she was born ( gave her sponge baths with water only in between if she was stinky / needed ) helped her skin tremendously to not get eczema. My other two had it

I was told so strictly to wait three months for products. But with my first we probably introduced after 6-8 weeks.
First was also bathed every 2-3 days, this second one lucky for a full bath every 5-7 days but does get a sponge bath between!

Anyone notice how Huggies changed ?!

This is the worst thing ever! I’ve been using these for years! First with my son and now with my daughter. First they removed the Velcro tabs which was fine whatever, but now they made them so thin and “soft”, my daughter blows out every single time she poops! I’m SO sad and disappointed, I really don’t know what diapers to used now that are like the original Huggies! (New on left, old on right). I HATE them 😭😭😭

Mums with autistic children

What early signs did you notice in your babies/children?
My little boy is 6m, rarely makes eye contact and repetitively shakes his head from side to side.
I KNOW these can be normal baby things, but as mothers, we can’t help but worry.

Bad words (2 year old)

My daughter this morning decided to find cat puke and put it on my face 🙃😂. My reaction was to say "what the f*ck?!". I was still asleep and woke up to something wet on my face.Well now she keeps saying "f*ck". How do I quickly get her to forget that word even exists? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Normal Development or Red Flag?

Hi everyone!

FTM here,please dont judge.My daughter is 9months and 2 weeks and there is some stuff that she does that im starting to think may be a red flag? Did you experience this with your 9m old? Am i just being super paranoid?

Here is what she does-
-super fast crawler
-great at standing and cruising
-responds to name 98% of time
-showing signs of understanding "no"

Red flags?
-makes great eye contact but not a fan of super up close contact (when being held,etc.)
-babbles only sometimes but mostly only vavava,baba sometimes she would throw mama
-recently started doing this repetitive head noding/rocking (back and forth) when standing or sitting..some days she doesnt sometimes she does it few time ina row
-Smiles at us and at people once comfortable but it takes her time, very serious baby
-was a great sleeper but recently started waking up multiple times a night

Parents with late bedtime toddlers

My toddler goes to sleep late, like 9.30/10pm. I’ve tried getting him down earlier but it just doesn’t work. He still gets his 11 hours sleep in day so he is not deprived of sleep. My question is for other moms in the same situation what do your toddlers do in that 7.30pm-10pm stage when you need to wind down and chill out.

Newborn and sleep

Hey ladies
2 days post partum, I know people say sleep when baby sleeps but did anyone else struggle to relax when baby is sleeping due to concerns around if baby is ok, if they spit up in sleep, etc. etc. I can’t switch off and just looking for some reassurance thank
