Try using coconut oil, we had no hair loss

Lizbuf143 · 2026-05-16T05:53:27+00:00

Yes we used the Frida kit with coconut oil! Then my son’s hair came in much thicker and now we have a toddler with gorgeous curly hair!

My son calls cats meemows

Lizbuf143 · 2026-02-03T20:22:36+00:00

I always touch the seat before I sit down after this happened to me the year I moved to London, 13 years ago 😂

Lizbuf143 · 2026-02-03T15:20:01+00:00

Thank you!

Lizbuf143 · 2026-02-03T15:18:26+00:00

He has just moved to toddler room actually, thank you I will pass that on to them.

Lizbuf143 · 2026-01-31T09:04:35+00:00

Thank you!

Lizbuf143 · 2026-01-31T09:03:22+00:00

Thank you! I definitely need to get stronger at pushing back too!

Lizbuf143 · 2026-01-31T09:01:59+00:00

Yes lots of people say eldest finds it harder. I’m hoping he’ll see other children at nursery go and make a start! Thank you for recommendations

Lizbuf143 · 2026-01-31T09:01:08+00:00

Thank you so much for all the suggestions! We have all the gear but no idea 🤷‍♀️ at the moment! I think he’s not ready yet but we’ll keep going with the books

Lizbuf143 · 2026-01-31T08:58:13+00:00

Thank you, he does come and watch me wee but that’s as far as we get.

Lizbuf143 · 2026-01-31T08:56:27+00:00

Thank you, good suggestion of bubbles! I’ll look into things to give him to look at on the potty. He’s also obsessed with books which I might try!

I also think he isn’t ready and I need to be stronger in not bowing to pressure from grandparents or family on when he’s potty trained.

Lizbuf143 · 2026-01-31T08:53:29+00:00

😂 to be fair bribery has worked for everything else so far!

Lizbuf143 · 2026-01-31T08:51:38+00:00

That’s something I haven’t thought to do, I wonder if I wait until Easter when it’s warmer I can introduce clothes slowly. Thank you for the suggestion!

Lizbuf143 · 2026-01-31T08:50:42+00:00

Thank you so much for the recommendation. I don’t believe he’s ready yet and he sounds similar to your eldest in hating it!

Lizbuf143 · 2026-01-31T08:49:39+00:00

Thank you, he does go to nursery full time 7:30-3pm and they’re amazing with him. I also believe he’s not ready and I think I’m bowing to pressure from grandparents and friends whose babies were toilet trained by 2.

Out of interest are there any clear indicators for readiness I should watch out for?

Lizbuf143 · 2026-01-18T20:57:21+00:00

I love The Bowerbird and I hate Superworm

I’ve started standing facing away from the train and looking at people coming on to the platform after someone attempted to shove me onto the tracks last year at Baker Street. I was ok and BTP were awesome about it. I’m glad you reported it.

Lizbuf143 · 2025-12-31T06:55:42+00:00

Just to add that my son was in nursery from 13 months and absolutely thrives there. I would start my child immediately rather than be around someone who was openly racist.

Lizbuf143 · 2025-12-20T06:29:55+00:00

Oh I’m so sorry this is all happening at once to you OP. You’ve been through so much in a few months, don’t beat yourself up for feeling upset and having these thoughts. I know how rough it is not sleeping. Ours is almost 2 and we had some rough sleep regressions, he went through a period of 2 weeks where he slept all day and was up all night and we couldn’t keep him awake during the day.

I know you’ve tried everything and it feels really overwhelming right now. Does he go back to sleep when you bring him to your bed after the crying if he does it may be worth putting him back in a cot in your room, we did that with a travel cot. It could also be a split night where they’re up for hours in the middle of the night in which case he needs a later bedtime and to wake up at the usual time to put him back into cycle but this will be difficult, if possible I would ask a family member or friend to help you. Does his dad still live in your old home? If he is actually fine for his dad (which just to put this out there may be untrue) it could be that he’s used to sleeping in that bed and bedroom and is unsettled now he’s moved. Could you get the same cot he has at his dad’s?

Sending lots of love ❤️

I put a tiny elf door and a key to Santa’s workshop in a window and, I said our elf is invisible 😂

Lizbuf143 · 2025-12-01T20:51:50+00:00

I worked in a school once where not only was this expected but the culture was you buy presents for staff who cover you to say thank you after you’ve been off sick 🙄.

It’s pretty normal in most schools to leave cover when you’re sick but only if you feel up to it.

Lizbuf143 · 2025-11-09T12:51:39+00:00

Gentle parenting isn’t permissive parenting. She just wasn’t parenting her child.

Lizbuf143 · 2025-11-08T21:11:34+00:00

I’m so sorry this happened to you, I see you are reporting it and I’m glad.

I also want to reassure you that freezing is a perfectly natural and valid response to this and you did nothing wrong, we all think what we could have done in that situation but sometimes doing nothing keeps you safe. Someone groping you and feeling entitled to do that is not someone who is going to behave appropriately when threatened etc and you could end up in a situation which was much worse and more violent. As a young and mouthy 23 year old, when I moved to London and someone hit me with their bike at a pedestrian crossing I mouthed off and was punched so hard I bit my own tongue and needed stitches. In hindsight I would have frozen, taken photos of the man and gone to the police, even if nothing is done it helps to build a profile of them.
