My baby has had cradle cap for a few months, any recommendations on how to get rid of it? And should we be worried?

Take coconut oil let it sit for a couple minutes while you bathe the rest of his body and then gently scrub with a washcloth get most of it off then wash with baby soap works like a charm

Nothing to worry about it’s quite common! I bought mustela cradle cap cream and foam shampoo both off Amazon, worked wonders cleared within a few weeks xxx

It’s going to sound weird lol but it helped me remove it if you use a lice removal brush after applying coconut oil

How long did your breastfed baby take to get back to birth weight?

I have just had my 5 day appointment and my baby has dropped 9%. I've been booked for a reweigh on Monday and told if she's lost more we will be sent to hospital. I said that's fine but I will refuse any feeding plan as I was put on one last time ( triple feeding) and it made my daughter projectile vomit and my mh plummet. She then asked if I had through about pumping and I said no I won't be pumping 5 days PP and 1 day after my milk has come in. Honestly the whole appointment has left me so angry at the pressure they put on us to get back to birth weight in 10 days. My partner also said she was weighed wearing a hat and blanket ( I had a c section so couldjt se)

Colostrum

How much colostrum should I bring with me to the hospital? I’ve got about 20ml but don’t want to take all of the syringes with me as I know I won’t use them all. Thank you 😊

A constant loop

Has anyone else felt like the days are flying by? By the time I get my son up, dressed and first bottle. He’s back down for a nap and everything repeats itself with a bit of play time during wake windows.

I feel like I’m constantly counting down each nap and bottle then before I know it, it’s time for bed again.
