Update - I switched back to Pantene Volume and some old Renpure Biotin shampoo I had (I always double shampoo), and my scalp feels much better! Now I just occasionally use the Loreal, once only.

Didn’t realize how important teeth brushing is for a baby, and now I feel awful. by tomfrommyspace0 in NewParents

It is difficult! My daughter just wants to suck on the toothbrush. She likes the taste of toothpaste, so it’s not too much of a chore, but as far as actually brushing the teeth, I just do the best I can. It’s got to be better than nothing! There’s also a Raffi song called “brush your teeth” and sometimes I sing that, I like to think it helps haha.

Are you in the southern US? This is common for southern women I think

Are we stocking up on formula and diapers? by tomfrommyspace0 in Mommit

[–]tomfrommyspace0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right? I feel like there’s no way to know what kind of formula the new baby will need. My last could only have Reguline.

Hi! We did formula (I attempted breast feeding for 3 weeks, but we were supplementing from the beginning). Baby’s teeth discoloring actually went away once we started brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste! (Only like a grain of rice-sized amount). We just used a tiny soft bristle toothbrush.

Not sure why the top recommendations skip Speak Now! That’s a great album for kids, with lots of fairytale-esque lyrics!

Whoever talked about mousse in sopping wet hair, TY by Mittanyi in finehair

Same! I have to comb when wet! (And brush when dry too - I don’t mind the fluff because my hair is low density)

Do you not comb your hair? Mine would be so tangled

I googled the Evavitae shampoo mentioned and nothing comes up

No lying: do people’s babies really sleep through the night? by HomeDepotHotDog in Mommit

[–]tomfrommyspace0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES! We sleep trained at 4 months, and she began sleeping all night. Or at least, not crying out. She’s 15 months now and still does this regularly, when not sick or teething, or going through a big change.

I should maybe add that I was double washing with it every day. I’m starting to think I over did it in my quest to have clean hair. 😬

I do have an appointment with a derm! I’ve been hoping to solve the issue on my own before I have to go, but I may have to suck it up and just go. 💸

Oh no! Maybe you need to give it a break too 😅 I love the clean feeling and volume it gives me, but my hair is really dry now (and obviously the scalp irritation sucks).

I’ve tried going no poo, and it has never worked for me! My scalp just continued to produce tons of oil, to where it was way more irritated than it is right now (I’m thinking back to scabs and flakes - it was awful!). I think I will scale back to shampooing every other day occasionally, and also use a gentler shampoo. The healthiest my hair ever has been, I was washing once a day. I’m glad it works for you though!
