Hi all, Have a question...

My little boy is nearly 4 months old and my hair is starting to come out in clumps - big clumps! Is this normal - could it be my hormones? (Luckily I have fine hair but lots of it, so it's not obvious, but this has been happening for a week or so now)

it's very normal, and feels like loads! The time it is not normal post baby shed is if you have any circular bald spots (maybe get partner to check) in which case it can be a form of alopecia and in which case is worth seeing the doctor. The loss can be enormous though. Mine covered the surface of the baths I washed my hair in! It will go back to how it was, it won't be too thin, you'll just have some layers for a bit!

I've heard about this happening, especially if your hair went thicker during your pregnancy.

Daisy is 4 months and my hair is ending up EVERYWHERE!!:eek: I have thick hair so I'm hoping it might thin out a bit;)

It started as soon as she hit 3 months:mad: Before that she slept through the night no problems!! She's having a little nap now but even naps seem to of turned into a quick 5 mins then its eyes wide open with a cheeky grin:rotfl:

She has been quite upset about something these last 2 days so don't know if its teeth or maybe she has my cold starting?? Its the first time we've heard her proper cry:(:(:(

sir_monster

I struggle to get t to nap during the day (although has fallen asleep on me now put him down and still asleep!) I think there is too much excitement for them to sleep, like yesterday put him a swing to sleep and was grabbing all the toys, I think playing is much more exciting! But then last night he was overtired and like daisy was doing a proper cry, luckily my DH is very good at settling him. Not sure what to suggest t started sleeping through really when discovered his thumb could get him back to sleep rather than mummy, like night before stirred at 4 had a look and was sucking his thumb half asleep.

Sir M, the ratbag is not a napper either - when we're out and I've seen her getting drowsy, I've even been known to walk an extra mile just to get her to sleep There's a definate case of nosy-itis with this one. How's your little man going with his weaning?

Smartie, I know Daisy is a wonderfully clever bubba, but we found that madam would have hideous nights, with proper crying (normally she faffs in her cot until I get her) and then all of a sudden she'd learn something new (rolling, sitting etc) and it would stop. Could that be maybe a bit of what is happening with Daisy, her brain is going overboard with learning stuff? Hope it settles down for you though. Wish I could help on the bedtime thing, but madam decided last night that 11pm was hyperactive teddy lobbing time!

Announcement - my baby has teeth

:j for teeth Mel. E is teething at the min - we can feel something through the gum but can't see anything yet. She is pulling the funniest faces when she's feeling her gums with her tongue.

:wave: Hi JMF. My hair was like that after having my other 2 kids and there was loads, it freaked me out a bit. This time round I haven't noticed losing any.

E is starting to wake more often in the night now and will often take a full 8oz feed if she wakes. Going to see how she goes over the next week or 2 and then may have to think about weaning :eek: My baby is growing too fast.

Right, I have a messy house to clean.

Squeak has one tooth and I suspect more coming, so it's not too early for Daisy to be teething.

I suspect there are more teeth in the offing here. Squeak was having a cuddle with a friend of mine at the school who has dreads, and squeak literally just grabbed one and shoved it in her mouth :rotfl:

OH gave her an oatcake to hold the other day and she looked most freaked out when she chomped a bit off and got a mouthful. Some inadvertant (and not especially healthy :eek: BLW going on there lol). Have said though no more biscuits of any kind to be given to her :rotfl:

Tara sorry I have edited my post, I got carried away on msn last night and left my MSE window open so it probably carried on showing me as online, I wasn't ignoring you

Well we're off to the doctors in a minute for Squeaks little rash on her face bless her.

sir_monster

LOL bexta I think that is a common thing, drive a bit longer/walk a bit longer as you know they will be a pain without a nap! We haven't weaned t yet as isn't 5 months yet and I would like to wait till he is 6 months and blw, but if he starts waking in the night hungry like em has said we may wean. To be honest part of my decision is like bf is I am lazy and can't be bothered making up purees/washing bowls etc but if t is getting more hungry then we will but would love to get to 6 months.
