I am so sorry you both had to endure this. You are not a bad mom or you wouldn't be heartbroken

.
Just want to say thanks for sharing this... Alot of us rookie moms will be able to learn from your ordeal.
I do like to keep my FB's hair up for a couple of reason:
1. She has beautiful black eyes and I love to look at them.
2. She reminds me of Ronnie Dunn (Brooks & Dunn) the way it hangs when it's not up. Not a bad guy to look like but... she is a girl

.
I have wondered why her hair mattes up so quickly when it's up. I use a tiny little rubber type band that is not supposed to break the hair. Even after a couple of days I have to cut it out it gets so matted. She's 7 months so it sounds like it's due to her still having baby hair?
I'm going to look into the bows someone else mentioned. Apparently someone on Yorkietalk makes them??
At any rate I've learned some valuable information so I thank you again for sharing and hope your both doing much better.
