So so so much hair. Nearly 6 months pp and actually wondering when it stops!Is anyone still losing tons of hair a year pp? Everytime I wash or brush mine I have enough falling out to make a wig! And KW keeps getting pissed I’m clogging the shower drain with it all!
was thinking maybe I should be taking supplements?
We put the tree away yesterday and I kept finding strands of my hair IN THE TREE. I feel like 90% of her diet is actually my hair.
Not meI wonder how many of you hussies will be back in the pregnancy thread in 2023?
I actually work for the HV service and although we have to advise against using the prep machine I’ll be totally honest - I have one and couldn’t have survived without it
as long as you change the filter regularly, put it through a cleaning cycle regularly and just keep an eye out to make sure baby doesn’t have any apparent stomach issues when you’re using it then it’ll be fine 
I don’t know much about the rapid cool so couldn’t comment on that xx
Ours was taken down 2 days after Christmas
If I didn’t have a wedding to diet and workout for, I fear this would be me.I wonder how many of you hussies will be back in the pregnancy thread in 2023?
I’ll see that thread in 24/25 i hope
Why do you have to advise against it xI actually work for the HV service and although we have to advise against using the prep machine I’ll be totally honest - I have one and couldn’t have survived without it
They’re not recommended because the hot shot isn’t guaranteed to kill all of any potential bacteria in the formula (this can be why some little ones have stomach issues when using the prep machine) and also because if they’re not cleaned and maintained properly it can cause issues too - basically we are told to advise against it because not everyone is sensible enough to use it properly
but like I say I’ve had no issues at all with mine. In fact I’ll be tempted to slip people notes recommending it on the sly when they ask for bottle feeding advice who has time to wait for the kettle to cool down when your baby is screaming the place down?!They say there is no proof it is safe but the hot shot of water is hot enough to kill the vast majority of bacteria. They can't be seen to be promoting anything that makes formula easier and therefore might turn people off breastfeeding. I have the prep machine and have had no issues with it. Baby has never had tummy issues, almost 6 months of use.
Can anyone advise me when to give baby water on its own? Family members driving me mad and are giving baby water behind my back!! (edit to add i know water isn't that bad but it's leading to loose nappies and I just want to get some views on it
)

I had a google of our new superstition, and you are also not supposed to wash dishes. Fml. I can’t kill one of my household. I’m on strike x
Sips of water with meals when you start weaning (boiled and cooled if before 6m, tap water is fine after 6m), no need for water as a drink other than with meals until they are 1. Formula/breastmilk should be the only drink they are having outside of mealtimes until they are 1 and only water with meals until then, not cows milk etc.They say there is no proof it is safe but the hot shot of water is hot enough to kill the vast majority of bacteria.

We need to just try getting out of bed
Mini Waka has given up on us and is pottering about (she’s fed & clean snoop)Thank you so much for everyone’s tips, advice and recommendations! I really appreciate it and I think I’ve made my mind up to get one and see how we get on with it! Thank you again and happy new year to you all

xxNo some kids are just feral. Mine have always had free access to their stuff (we use the kallax as open shelves) and never tipped it everywhere like maniacs. And like you, free access to art materials with no issues. I wonder if when they go to other people’s houses some kids just get over excited? And also herd mentality?! Either way, you’ll know for next time!I think it just didn’t occur to me because my own children can’t open the kallax? Now I’ve thought about it, I have no idea why she can’t, she’s almost 4, I think it’s just become habit to ask for her to ask for what she wants. But therefore I’ve never need to ‘hide’ toys that are put away, because my own kids can’t access them
Sort of on the topic of hair loss, the regrowth is literally making me want to pull my hair out! I have inch long tufts right the way round the front of my hairline, it looks horrendous. 
The rest of my hair is waist length and mostly gets tied back cos of little grabby hands meaning the tufts are on full display!!

If baby is bottle fed you can give small sips in very hot weather (ie…not nowThey say there is no proof it is safe but the hot shot of water is hot enough to kill the vast majority of bacteria.

We had 3 3yo here last night, and couldn’t see the floor through all the toys. 3yo does get some of his toys out and doesn’t put them away, but last night was another level. Saw toys I haven’t seen in a year
We have no food in the house and the words "I could make us a lentil, ham soup" actually just came out of my mouth. Suffice to say, OH nearly divorced me before we've even wed.
I do think herd mentality is a scary one. My kids will join the chaos if it’s started by someone else.We had 3 3yo here last night, and couldn’t see the floor through all the toys. 3yo does get some of his toys out and doesn’t put them away, but last night was another level.

You really enjoy punishing yourself don't you?
Lantern proceeds to make the soup, cocks it up and by 3pm is rocking back and fourth in the corner praying to the tinned soup gods
