My baby is pretty happy at home, will amuse herself independently for a while too but she is always unsettled when we leave the house. She will tolerate maybe 15 minutes in the buggy, bassinet or the open seat. She will only go in a carrier if she's asleep. And she will be carried in arms for about 10 minutes max be...

My 3 year old son is half black and half white. He’s always had great hair that’s been fairly easy to maintain. We’ve stuck to a regular schedule of shampoo and conditioner every other day.
