Baby hair matting
Noticing some matted hair forming on the back of my baby’s head. Loosened it a few days ago but it’s happening again from the friction of turning her head side to side while lying down. How do you prevent it? The texture is also rougher than the other strands of hair on the sides and top of her head. With my first born it eventually turned into a little bald spot before regrowing—is the matting and bald spot preventable?

yess I noticed the same thing with my son!!
My 3 month old has the same thing and we just put coconut oil or olive oil in his hair before bed after bath time. This has helped a little xx
I think similar, we have little hair tangles forming because his hair is so fine! We're just snipping them off. But also it's only been like 5 tangles, so maybe different... I dunno how to prevent it without introducing stuff that might not be sleep-safe, like satin type sheets or a bonnet or something 😅 hopefully others have different ideas!

DNA Test
My baby’s dad performed a DNA test on him and my baby without my knowledge or consent. My baby wasn’t even a month old at this point. Any advice or thoughts? He’s not on the birth certificate.

Baby found voice
My 10 month old has found her voice, it doesn’t bother me during the day of the pterodactyl screeching or weird sounds but for the last week now she will not go to sleep when it’s bed time, she’s up hours on end making sounds. Did this happen to anyone else’s baby? Did anyone find a way to make them go to sleep ?

Co sleeping? Is it dangerous?
I had been co sleeping with my 6 month little girl for the past month, I met up with my friend who’s a nurse and she told about an 8 month old baby passed away due to co sleep (rolled on her tummy and couldn’t move).
It really scared me so the past week we have transferred her to her cot (still next to our bed) but she is wakes 7-10 times a night and I’m exhausted and struggling so bad.
Do you guys co sleep or has anyone successfully got their co sleeping baby into their cot?
Any advice would be amazing❤️

💩nappies
My little boy has been constantly pooing since Monday but the last 2 days it’s been a LOT like 7+ 😭 he woke up Monday with sniffles and has been congested since then starting to clear slightly. I’ve stopped his solid foods today to give his tummy a rest as it’s not watery but it’s very mucus. Has anyone else experienced anything like this with their little one when they’ve come done with a virus? It’s so draining for him and me. Went for the doctors today and they wasn’t fussed as he seemed well and has been having wet nappies even though he isn’t taking all of his 7oz bottles.
