What's his hair type? ...looking for recommendations
Hello,
My 10mth old boy's hair is getting longer and having small tangles at the back (half polish, half nigerian). At the moment, hair care is just a wash when he has a bath, a wet towel wipe when he doesnt, and apply coconut oil every morning and evening.
Any idea what his hair type is?
When should I start using products (as natural as possible, I don't even mind home made recipes)
Any product / hair brush recommendations please?
Based in UK. Thank you

3C hair. Use gentle oils like coconut oil or shea butter. Something that retains moisture and the curls will pop
Yeah I’d say around in the 3 category idk if I’d say c. Maybe when longer or styled you can tell. My daughter has the same and I think I classify it as like 3a/B in some spot. We use a leave in conditioner after baths and then just water and detangler when needing to fix it for the day. I’ve used a curl cream but it doesn’t work great on kids that roll their head everywhere. So on a baby I’m not sure if that would work either. So maybe just water and detangler to help brush it out in the morning and leave it.

Nappy bin
Are nappy bins actually worth it? Baby girl is due next month and I’m buying the last bits and bobs but I’ve heard mixed things about nappy bins! Would only be used in the bedroom to save me going up and down the stairs during the night but I’ve been told to save my money as I won’t actually use it that much?

Contact naps only?
Hello! My baby is 6 weeks old and she only gets sleep when she contact naps on either of our chest so my partner and I take turns sleeping at night. Everyone keeps telling me to be careful of her getting used to it but I don’t know how. There came a period when she slept in her cot but now as soon as I put her down, the Moro reflex kicks in a few times and she wakes up and we’re back to square one…any advice?

Breastfed bottle refusal
I haven’t used a bottle of breastmilk in months for my baby because I haven’t needed too. I wanted to see if he would still take it as I am away with him and my friends next month and fancied a drink. He has just completely rejected the bottle, the Philips Avent and also Mam bottle. I am trying him with an open cup for water but I know that takes a long time. I don’t go back to work until a few weeks before he turns 1 so he is going to need to take pumped breast milk from my husband before he can have cows milk drink at 1. I am thinking if he can use a cup he could have his milk from that. Has anyone got any advice or recommendations please?

Lindsay Clancy
What does everyone think of the Lindsay Clancy trial? The whole trial has just had me in bits, for everyone involved. Being a mum and going through post partum struggles I do understand. And a lot of people will say ‘she killed her kids!’ Yeah, she did. But how many times did she reach out to people, her mum, her MIL, mental health workers, suicide line, mother and baby groups? Her search history was all about how to care for her kids and her kids! No one in the trial has a bad word to say about her. The whole story is sad and when you’ve been through needing help like that yourself you understand it more. I hope she gets the help she needs

Has anyone transitioned their baby out of their bassinet to the pram? Not sure if too early?
