Hair cut

I have all four boys and they only got there first hair cut at age 1. I’m determined for my last LO to do the same but all the comments I get from family are rude. But I’m standing my ground. With that being said when did you do the first hair cut. Picture attached for tax.

I would just ignore them 😊 I hate when people comment that boys need their hair cut because it's too long. Mind you our son didn't have the same length hair, but we didn't cut it until he was 17 months old then waited again until the recent heatwave we got here in the UK to cut it, as he was annoyed by it (20 months)

I think it’s weird for anyone else to care to be honest! What are they saying that’s rude and why do they think it’s justified or relevant to their life? I know parents of boys who did the first haircut in the first month, some who did a little trim around 4 years old, and some who haven’t cut it yet at 3 years old and don’t intend to. I don’t think it matters in the slightest unless it’s literally affecting their ability to see and then the only input should be ‘I think you should tie his hair back because it’s covering his eyes’

I waited till both my boys turned one to do their first haircut. I didn't care what anybody else had to say it was just something I did.

I shaved all my boys when they turned one. So the baby hair wouldn’t grow and the regular hair would come in. But it’s really just up to you. My brother’s son is 3 and never has cut his hair and it’s long. You do what feels right with them who cares what they says

Baby sleep

My little girl is 9 months old now and has never been a good sleeper. She is now going through a phase of getting up at 4 am every morning and I try keeping things dark and boring but she is so awake for the day.
She goes to bed around 7pm. Has 2 naps a day. 1 nap - 1hr20 ish, 2 nap - 30 mins ish.
She is a childminders in the day so I can’t control her naps but I wish she would sleep in abit more but feel like I’m just banging my head against a brick wall. Any one else experience and was it ever resolved?

Sleeping position

Anyone else’s baby sleep like this? He can roll back to front but not the other way round but every time I put him to sleep on his back he always ends up like this. I hardly sleep because I’m forever turning him back over or listening to see if he’s breathing. He literally fidgets all night now too

Pram/Stroller Recommendations

Hi!
We currently have a travel system but the seat part doesn't collapse with the chassis and it's becoming a pain to load into the car and store. Any recommendations on good collapsing prams/strollers? I'm looking for something that's good abroad too! It doesn't necessarily need to be another travel system, just anything really! X

Sleep sack

Hi everyone!!

I’m trying to transition my 12 week old from the love is a dream sleep sack that keeps her arms up to a sleep sack that her arms are free. This is the first night and she has already woken up 3 times within the hour crying ( never has done that)

Any tips to make her more comfortable during this transition?

Her day naps she doesn’t use a sleep sack and is fine.

How to get baby back to sleep?

She used to feed to sleep and I used to be able to just put the baby on my chest and she'd fall asleep. Now she will wake up from the bottle and will claw and fight as if she's doing tummy time. The tricky part is she must be upright after feeds because of her reflux so I can't really be moving her about. I can't keep doing this fight at 3am waiting for her to wear herself out to sleep. We've tried white noise rich she doesn't respond to. Swaddles stopped working after 2 months (she's 3 months now).

Any advice??
