Hi ladies,
I’m currently dealing with postpartum hair loss. Whenever I shower,brush my hair there’s big chunks of fallen hair. I feel like I am bolding on the sides and it affects my self esteem. Is there anything that I can take while also ebf?
Thank you x

Before pregnancy I was taking biotin and B12, I’ve searched it and you can take whilst breast feeding :)

If youre a meat eater organised is an excellent supplement and sage for breastfeeding.

Are you taking your post natal vitamins?
This was the first thing I done when my shedding started

Hi mamas! I’m 4 mo pp and sex has been pretty painful mainly due to me being dry down there. Any breastfeeding safe lube recommendations please?

I had a 2nd degree tear and had stitches. I've had sex only twice so far since (now 4 months pp). It has been so painful mainly where the tear was, skin feels so tight and it just causes pain.
I used a lot of lube but that didn't help much, felt like my skin just wasn't stretching at all. Any advice?

Hey mums so I’m currently 4 months postpartum and I’ve noticed in the last few weeks my hair is falling out on my bed the floor everywhere i have so much hair and now I feel like my hair has gone thin but I’m not sure if it’s normal and if there anything I should be using or taking to stop it or let it grow back I’ve broken down in tears so many days every time I find a new hair anywhere.

Does anyone get 4 hours sleep every night 😴 are you ok? Do you still manage to get out and do things? I’m sure there will be people out there in the same situation I just feel so alone in it.
I’m 31 weeks and so anxious about the lack of sleep and how to cope with even more lack of sleep with a newborn.
This isn’t even my first baby it’s my 3rd but I’ve found sleep so difficult this pregnancy and so worried about not coping on lack of sleep with a newborn. 😢

My baby is currently 3 weeks old and he is almost all day and night on my breast. Sometimes he feeds for an hour and 10 minutes later he wants more. He is gaining weight properly. Breast is the only way to make him calm. I am very tired. Does anyone have a similar experience?

Has anyone else's 13 month old started throwing tantrums?
Really thought I had until 2 but my daughter is throwing tantrums for just about everything (full blown throw herself on the floor squealing, shouting, very rarely actually crying) 😅
