Can anyone recommend any good shampoos or hair serums they’ve used during postpartum hair loss at all please?

My little girl starts nursery tomorrow and I am so overly emotional about it. She did ok at her settling in sessions, she wasn't crying when I arrived to pick her up. I just feel completely overwhelmed at the thought of leaving her all day, guilt because I'm not actually at work tomorrow and sadness that my maternit...

I never enjoy her visits when she comes round to see my daughter. Shes very judgmental and when me and her son first found out i was pregnant and told her (i was 6-7weeks pregnant) she told me to get rid of it up until 26ish weeks pregnant. I understand its a big adjustment and stuff and if she said give me time to ...

My husband and I don’t ask my MIL to watch our 16 month daughter because we don’t trust his mom alone with her. I honestly prefer not to be around her as well so we haven’t really seen her either. She’s a narcissist who only thinks about herself and is constantly talking negatively about people, even her own kids. S...

Ariah has recently started blinking her eyes constantly. We immediately took her to the doctor. The doctor is hoping it's just from possibly getting or being sick as it's been going around and through our family... BUT he also had to tell us worst case scenario which is a chance of a brain tumor or lesion in her bra...

I feel like a horrible mom. I got upset with my son when I was trying to change his diaper and I yelled at him. He wouldn’t lay still and kept trying to take it off as I was trying to put it on. He looked so scared. I’m such a horrible person. I never thought I would ever yell at him.

Is anyone experiencing PP Hair Loss? I'm starting to go bald at the sides slowly. Big chunks of hair is coming out every time I brush my hair or just casually run my fingers through my hair. What are people using or doing to support it?

Long story short, I have a girlfriend that had her baby just 4 months after me. From pregnancy up until now, she's been messaging me to ask me everything and ESPECIALLY for products that I bought for my baby. Shes been pretty much asking me the weirdest most irrelevant shit like 'if I invited my close relatives to m...
