Hair help lol

My daughter is 6 and 1/2 months right now and every since I gave birth to her she’s had super super crazy hair that stands straight up, it started off as a little triangle and turned into a full blown palm tree. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love it, I think it makes her so beautiful and unique, but sometimes I have a very hard time styling it! We’re a busy family on both sides and we have lots of events and sometimes I wanna give her a cute little style but I cannot manage it with anything. Her grandma on her dad’s side suggests I use olive oil, my mom is suggesting coconut oil, and most people tell me to use water and the thing is most oils greases her up way too much and water makes her fluff so much worse! Does anyone have any baby safe suggestions I can attempt to use? Or perhaps a bath time and brush routine to try and settle her hair a bit.

Tie it in a palm tree on top of her head.

I’m not a girl Mom, but I would suggest tying it a little ponytail on the top of her head. She is freaking adorable!

Do a whale tail! It’ll look adorable. My baby still has quite fine, fluffy hair even though she’s nearly 17 months old. Seems that other kids her age have proper kid hair now, we’ve still got baby hair 😆 but the whale tail is a solid look

Bed time in this heatwave

So my little girl usually has her regular naps during the day she only had 20 minutes for her second one and now she’s absolutly exhausted at 5:30. Trying to keep her awake is proving difficult and she’s becoming agitated because she’s tired. I’m worried if I let her sleep too early she’s going to be up during the night? Any suggestions? Her wake window had now passed 4 hours

How do I end contact naps (not altogether) But at least one transfer to the moses throughout the day!? Need help!

As much as I love comforting my baby girl, she will only nap if she's being held (contact naps) all day, every day. But then night time, she will be transferred to her crib and will sleep through the night.. It really does baffle me!!

Has anyone managed to gently transition their little one to more independent sleep? I can’t get nothing done throughout each day, even the smallest of things! As much as I love bonding through contact naps, one transfer would be so good too!

Would love tips or encouragement from anyone who’s been through this! I feel like I’ve tried about everything, dark room, deep sleep, in the pram.. you’ll probably name it and I’ve tried it 😪…

I don’t want to be made to feel guilty for wanting some time without LO on my chest, I feel people that’ll say ‘enjoy it’ When experiencing it, it can be very tough, lonely and sometimes frustrating!
Of course I enjoy it and of course I will miss it when they no longer happen!!

27c bedroom - will baby be ok in this?

FTM here and my baby is 3 months old. Our bedroom is 27c in this awful heatwave, I currently have him in his nappy and 0.5 tog sleep bag (one of the transitional ones with arms) - will he be ok in this? I’ve unzipped the sleeping bag and he has an oscillating fan on which is reaching his next to me every so often

Our neighbour has a weird fixation with our family. Has anyone dealt with similar?

The inability of our 4 & 2 year old to control their emotions enrages him and he makes it his business. Mind you this started when they were 3 & 1.

• He bangs on our shared wall when our two-year-old cries, most often during the night but sometimes during the day as well. This started when she was 1yo.

• He also does this when the children are playing and laughing in the evening.

• He mocks the sound of our children crying through our shared wall.

• While in the garden, he will loudly discuss with his partner what our children are doing, particularly when they are upset, making it clear that he is watching and/or listening and commenting on them.

He’s just an oddball and I don’t know what kind of oddball he is. The police and council do not care at all. But considering we live in a neighbourhood nestled between two primary schools, I have concerns about the others kids on our road who may come across him.
