to think that this LO is going to end up with terrible headaches?

[Rollinginthesleep]

Poor soul.

FGS of course she won't get "terrible headaches". She's not a "poor soul" apart from the pierced ears.

They aren't rubber bands, they're the small no-grab bands.

I can barely keep my 20 month dd still enough to put a clip in, how on earth does she do it?

Yes someone buy her a girlsworld!

However YABU

Millions of black children have their hair braided/in cornrows and don't suffer because of it.

When mine were small I would braid their hair while they slept-no trauma!

Yes they are small silicone bands, they don't damage the hair.

YABU. Just looks like a waste of time to me (since the child hardly has any hair, the scalp is all exposed), nothing harmful there.

YABU. Headaches? It's completely harmless.

Some of you should never watch Toddlers and Tiaras or your judgy pants will simply eat you up, never to be seen again. O

But apart from that...her little pudgy arms, how cute is she?? I could just eat her!

Some of those styles look a bit uncomfortable. The mum does seem a bit hair obsessed!

She just needs to admit that her DD has Crap Toddler Hair. DD2 spent a year of her life looking like Kurt Cobain.

The thing I'd be worried about is traction alopecia- tight hairstyles literally pulling the hair out. Granted, it takes ages to see the damage, but baby hair is so fine and delicate.

When I was little I wore a ponytail all the time and my hairline started to creep back a tiny bit. It grew back but it's not just a myth.

It is very hard to keep hair out of eyes?

The poor kid doesn't have long enough hair to get in her eyes!!!

And for those who say it won't hurt - I still remember the pain when my mother out mines in bunches etc and I'm 35.

Did anyone else see the shot from the day the kid was born with the bow in her head? I'm not talking about one of the bows on the fabric hairband that some people use - its clipped in.

Bit sad unless the child enjoys it. The pierced ears are something else but has no-one else noticed the child's name.

Can't see what's wrong with a little hair band or a clippie to keep a fringe out of the eyes but it all seems a bit over the top.

Poor little girl! She is exceptionally cute though and so much cuter with her apparently 'crazy hair'. I look after a 14 month old who has thick hair that reaches amost of the middle of her back and her mum manages without making her baby look like that!

they are those little bands that dont pull hair and i think she has got her hair wet to help style it?

i am not sure about the 'fights' and arguments but phaps she means that in a jokey way?

meh my dd is 18mths and i have just started to put clips and bobbles in her hair, no idea how you could get a toddler to keep still to do those styles but in the pics her dd looks happy enough.

i dont like pierced ears on babies/toddlers but [shrug] there are far worse parenting crimes

That little girl has hardly any hair, not exactly 'crazy' and 'with a mind of its own'.

The mum is obviously impatient for a dolly to create hair dos on.

I wasted a bit of time reading this woman's blog last night as I had already pulled my eyelashes out ealier in the week.

She loves an exclamation mark! I was particularly nonplussed interested in the lengthy examination of 'My diaper bag and what I have in it!!' where she makes the interesting comment that it contains 'a bulb syringe! (you never know when you're gonna need it)'.

Now I am wondering how I managed without one.

wow she has too much time on her hands!

She is a human not a doll. Am I judging, yes because she admits that her dd is forced into having her hair done. She's a very cute little girl.

Haha porky I noticed her fondness for the exclamation mark as well.

Look on the bright side, if she's spending time on her kids hair, sectioning along the scalp, she's more likely to spot headlice
unlike some who never seem to look and therefore keep reinfecting others

rhondajean I remember the pain of bunches too... My mother used to pull them so tight that you couldn't touch the top of my head while they were in as it hurt too much. She looks much better without anything done to her hair, she's a very cute little girl. I'd normally think if she likes it that's ok but from reading the descriptions it doesn't sound like she does.

I have just wasted 15 mins of my life reading get blog and the one amazing fact I have gleaned is she mops her kitchen 3 times a day.

ratspeaker, that sounds like bitter experience.

OMG that poor, poor little girl! (I also looked at the ear piercing bit - how upsetting is that :( )

The photos from the ear piercng are horrible :( and the fact she writes
"WE TOOK A VIDEO BUT IT'S TOO SAD...I CAN'T SHOW IT!"

Why, just why would you put a baby through that? :(

The first thing I noticed was the button to report abuse.....
