Any tips on pregnancy hair loss?

I feel like I'm pulling my hair out in chunks. I'm 25 weeks pregnant this is my third pregnancy, and just this last week I feel like the hair loss has gotten so much worse.

Have you spoken with your doctor? I’d be concerned since you generally should have slower hair shedding during pregnancy.

no i haven't, i already lose hair pretty frequently it's just picked up a lot over the past couple weeks but I've been having other symptoms too like insane lower back pain and muscle spasms radiating up the back and down the legs, pelvic pressure, all the works. Been to L&D twice

Take biotin and collagen and use quality hair products. I like the xmondo recalibrate shampoo and conditioner and the hair density foam. Wash your hair as little as possible so the natural oils can build up.

thank you! I wash my hair every other day since the ends are dry and the roots get oily but usually it's at least every other day if not every 2 days

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot.

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
