Hair shampoo.
We used Aveeno hair and body wash from when she was a baby. I learnt from here to wash her hair with soap once or twice weekly. For other days, I just pour water and comb as soon as we step out of the bath.
I think Sebamed shampoo also has great reviews.
As soon as she was around 3m (most likely before) we started using those soft cotton bands to make puffpuff and this helped greatly as we didn't need to comb the hair everyday.
Right now (she's 26m)we (Muna and I) use the same shampoo and conditioner which is V05 and then she uses Cantu (since she's a naturalista ) hair custard and next day curls. We also use detanglers and Olive Oil hair mayonnaise (Olive oil is the brand name). Coconut oil gives us shine all days and every day .
Good luck with the hair.
(Put in mind that I have a forest full of hair that grows really fast and thick and the women in her father's family have really long hair)


Modified: Organics is the brand name.
Olodo wee nor kill me



Giddyperson, if she scratches, it might be the heat or sweat and product residue.You can also wash her hair without using soap. Let water run through it to wash away the water soluble products and dry it thoroughly without using heat (hair dryer)
Try to make her hair for her. Split into large or medium sized puffs or according to how full her hair is. Don't binge on the custard. I don't use it except if her hair is in a bun cos I hate gooey stuff.
Kisses to her

tnx I'd try to be less lazy about the hair next year

enque:

Sir, I'm purging seriously ...think it's something I ate during the holidays. I've taken some medication, will come around when it subsides.

And then I don't show up to work at all..... They'll just assume that the medication Neva work finish

Ensue I wish I could say I'm interested but I'd cheat everyday so lemme not waste the space.

Sansa143 how far, have u gone to your village, it's been a while I saw you here.

Ovems:
Good morning mamas, compliments of the season! Biko I need your assistance. I remember a time when hair products for baby girls was discussed on this thread but can't locate the page.
Please, when can I start using shampoo on her hair? And which one should I get? I remember that it was said that we shouldn't wash the hair everyday.
Zaynie, Muna 's hair is an inspiration to me. My daughter is just 8 weeks old. For now, I just wash the hair when she is bathing with her bathing soap and then apply olive oil and comb.
Thanks in advance for your contributions.
Cc Zaynie, Giddyperson, and other experience mamas.

Zaynie would come and answer you. My baby sweats a lot so I've decided not to use any products on her hair cuz it makes her scratch her hair a lot. What I need is a good shampoo and conditioner which I'm yet to buy since then I've even forgotten the replies I got when I asked the question, I'm waiting to read your replies.

stephmiracle:
Mummy Giddyperson, you are highly Nnoo.

thanks, how was your xmas.

Cc @ giddyperson

lol right on time, thanks and merry xmas

CheeryChy:
Mamas please help a worried mum

My baby squirms, strains and grunts a lot just to pass gas. It really became worse yesterday and today. Yesterday he pooped after about 5 days after straining and grunting with so much physical exertion. He grunted until his face became red and his body hot, though he became normal thereafter. The poop was the same normal yellow consistency. But since that yesterday, he has been squirming and struggling to fart like a woman in labor. And then he'll sleep off looking so tired and worn out. Even while feeding him, he'll actually stop mid-feed to struggle and cry to fart and he'll end up not completing the feed. Is this normal?

How do I help him fart easily and poop more often so it doesn't accumulate in his system? Is it my diet? It's really painful watching him get red in the face just to fart. He's 5 weeks plus, exclusively breastfed.

Please don't read and pass pls.

Hes also very young and learning, it would get easier with time

Bloomingbud:
How is your boy doing now? Sure he is getting better.

Sorry to bother you ma'am, is antenatal appointment with Dr S usually rush rush? Cos with every of my complain his response is 'it is not unexpected' hubby and I are so used to this response that I hardly have anything to complain about self even when I'm not fine.
I feel I'm not getting enough response.

lol used to complain of the same thing, but then that's what a stress free pregnancy looks like so enjoy.

Hunniesuzie, how's my son in law, hope he's doing better now

Benignasweety:

Nah, I'm at Aba-ish. Can't see your pm cuz I forgot that email password

Benignasweety:
Abia or Ebonyi?

casler:
As far as it is in the east, you can get the flour. Ask those that sell grains in bulk, in any big local market. You can buy the processed flour from the grinders at the market. Happy holidays.
CC. Giddyperson.

K thanks I will

FloraEC:
You can check Nnewi/Nnobi, they also make Okpa well. Or you buy the seed and look for someone to help you process it.

I'm closer to Enugu than Anambra

Lmao, amebo people everywhere

FloraEC:
Mini market in my area oo but I didn't see it yesterday cos some have traveled for Christmas. They told me I should check oyinbo market but I'm too lazy to move. Please be careful when you want to buy cos some mix it with plain flour.

Oh in that case I'd just try and buy plenty now that I'm in the east. It's more of an Enugu food tho, I wonder if I'd get the flour in my state.

hunniesuzie:
Lol. Another of our teamies has joined the preggy thread. Na you we dey wait now

Which of your teamies joined pregnancy thread Biko. What's so special about this season, harmattan did not even come out so no cold to chase.

@Chanbaby I even travelled sef so i cannot knock myself up

FloraEC:
Giddyperson this one you're mentioning people somewhere, biko mention me too

Kelizosuy sorry about the headache dear, just give yourself a reason to smile always, no need dosing your system with drugs, take water, rest and don't allow anything bother you. Wear Adele light clothes at night and keep sweater by the side in case of cold. If is heat rashes, you can use Agnesia powder or any other powder that is baby tolerant.

spiceeamiee I'm team heavy flow right from the day my first AF dropped. Seeing AF twice in a month can be normal depending on your ACL and PL(if you have shorter cycles, your period will come twice in a month). As for pad, I use double pad(2pad) and I keep extra like 1 full pack in my bag in case I'm going out.


Meanwhile it rained last night Abi this early morning. My daughter is still sleeping, hubby just woke up too.

Good morning

gbeborun, Biko where do you buy okpa flour in Lag

stephmiracle:
Mama Giddybaby, you are also owing me a mention oh

I know, I mentioned you and Casler too, no one got it. How have you been

Mahoti:
Looking for another apartment oooh

Ndo you'll find a better one

Damisinto:
Oh! Never knew am not meant to ggive more than once, he takes gerber supported sitter in d morning and tom brownSsSS till I come from work to give breast. Thanks I ll try to do varieties

Since it's affecting his poop then it's advisable to reduce the frequency. Does he not take formular? If he accepts milk from bottles then try to replace some of his meals with formular. You can try blended sweet potatoes sometimes, it has a lot of fiber and makes pooping easy

Damisinto:
Good morning precious mothers, plz did any mother feeding thrir baby tom brown notice any change in babies poo? I introduced it to ds last weekend at 5 momths and his poo is totally different, comes out as dark as d tom brown colour and kind of hard (I give plenty water) but still hard, he also poos twice a day unlike d previous once in 4/5 days. Please o no waka pass o so as to know if am not getting things right.

And all mothers

We've never taken Tombrown but my baby's poop got much darker when we started taking the brown pap and it goes back light on weekends when we don't take any pap, so I don't think the color is anything to worry about. About the hard poo, hope you don't give him Tom brown more than once a day, keep giving a lot of water and is he straining to poop cuz it might not be hard at all, maybe what you are seeing is just a thicker version of breastmilk poop, which is still ok. with solids expect him to poop twice or thrice a day now cuz there's a lot of the food the body won't use unlike breastmilk.

Mahoti:
You can't believe the apartment I have been waiting for the past 5month end up to be a scam,went der this evening met a lot of people in d compound fighting with the developer for key cos he collected money from more than one person for an apartment.
Now he is in the police custody,I already looked for another apartment
When I was thinking I will soon be free,now this.

Now I know my village people are really after me,I don't even know what to do biko

eyah pele, have you found another apartment now? I hope this one doesn't come with another long wait
