With just the staff around her to gi...

Curly hair

Hello my toddler has curly hair and I’m not sure how to take care of it since I never took care of mine and my husband doesn’t take care of his hair at all. I don’t know what hair products to use on it either so if anyone has any suggestions I’m open to hearing them. Here is a photo of her hair wet and drying.

Reflux

My LO is 12 weeks and for the past two weeks has been getting really bad reflux. I burp him and I try and sit him up for as long as possible after his bottle but sometimes he’ll projectile vomit. Could this be an allergy? Anyone else have this problem?
