To cut or not to cut
We've not cut my son's hair since he was born and he's now almost two.
His hair is quite long (a few inches) and in pretty loose curls. It's longest at the back of his head and, as much as I condition that hair, it tends to be really dry and tangle easily compared to the rest of his head. People will often comment on how lovely his hair is but I'm debating whether to have his first little trim done in case the drier hair is just baby hair and it may look better after being cut.
Any thoughts??

I can’t comment on curly hair specifically but my little boy had really dry, tangly hair on the back of his head that i put off cutting forever but I’m honestly so glad i did it now his hair looks so much neater, i have kept his quite short since then though so whether or not it would grow back the same as it used to be i don’t know x

Chickenpox at nursery
The nursery has contacted on my sons second day at nursery to say that a baby has chickenpox. This baby was in the same room as my child.
Is there a high chance of him getting it? The baby was removed within 3-4, hours.
I havent had chickenpox myself so I am a bit worried hence me asking.
Are there any steps I can take?
Thanks all

Post partum sex
VAGINAL BIRTHS, NO STITCHES OR COMPLICATIONS -
How long did everyone wait until they had sex? I usually hate these posts now I’m finding myself asking the same question hahahaha. The sexual tension we both have is unreal, we’ve not slept together since 2nd May😮💨 i usually have more self discipline than this! Baby was born 10th August so I’m 3 weeks and 2 days, not much blood is on my pads anymore however it’s there when I wipe. We almost tried the other night but I chickened out in case it hurt 😢

How did you encourage your LO to take their first steps?
My LG is 11 months (1 year in 3 weeks) and she is ALWAYS wanting to walk holding my hands. She does it really well and is barely putting any weight on my hands any more and she cruises confidently!
I've been trying to encourage her to take an independent step but every time I do, she crawls to me instead.
Any tips would be great!

Car seat
My LO is 6 months old and hates being in the car. Sometimes she can tolerate a 10-20 minute journey by being distracted with toys, but once she starts crying she gets herself so worked up, which is so difficult when driving alone. I’ve tried her in the front (airbags turned off) and it worked for one journey but the journey back she was in hysterics by the time we got home.
I’m unsure if it has anything to do with the car seat, for reference she is 6 months old, and we have the joie I-level pro car seat, so it is fine for her age and weight/length, but unsure if the capsule car seat is causing discomfort.
Has anyone experienced this then changed to a bigger car seat and had better results, or any ideas how to keep her distracted? We do so many car journeys, and usually when I’m sat in the back with her she’s okay for a bit longer but once she’s in hysterics I have to take her out to calm her down
Any advice would be much appreciated!

How many bottles do you have?
Typically how many bottles do you have? I know it depends on how often you wash them etc. We have 4 at the moment but looking at buying a couple more to avoid washing as often.

Husband mentioned being celibate
My husband is on a bit of a self-improvement/discovery journey and mentioned yesterday about the idea of being celibate for a while to see if it improves his mental state focus on other things. He said that he is curious around how if would affect him. How would you feel?
