Hi, I would say don't take it. If you are struggling or feel it's not for you the midwives will help and will be able to Provide milk to top up with if really needed. At Kings they have Aptamil. However if you want a different brand maybe take that. I gave birth there last week and for various reasons (the baby needed x rayed before feeding) was not able to feed my daughter for 4 hours. As a result her glucose levels dropped and they encouraged me to top up with formula for a few days. They provided the small amount of formula I needed. I'm happy to say we are now at home, my milk came in within 48 hours (despite topping up) and I am fully breast feeding my daughter. The help and support of the midwives was great.

Hi, I was lucky enough to find a lodger who I sort of already knew when my son was younger (about 3). I charged him a bit less than going rate to make up for noise and sleep interruption, but it definitely helped with the bills and mortgage. It also meant that when my lodger was in I could pop out for milk or anything like that once my son was asleep. My lodger is leaving in a month or so after 27months with us. My son will miss him, and I think my lodger will miss my son too so it can be mutually beneficial. It was a way I could stay in the area and keep my house. I say go for it.

Hi everyone, I am due with my 2nd in november. But with a 6 year gap, and so far a much easier and nicer pregnancy, it feels a bit like a first! I am interested to hear what peoples' experiences at DMC Chadwick Road have been? Last pregnancy I had Lisa Plessy there as my community midwife and she was excellent. However, I don't think she is there now and I have been booked into see someone else there at the end of the month. Should I try and book in elsewhere? After my last pregnancy I am very anxious for everything to go smoothly and as pleasantly as possible. I didn't do NCT last time due to the complications in my pregnancy and not sure I'll do it this time so would be good if there is ever a meet up. I can also recommend Sitarim yoga through King's. Was the only thing that kept me sane last time and really helped in labour. Thanks!

Hi, My son attends reception at Goose Green and is very happy there. He is progressing well and enjoys every part of his day there. The staff are committed and track each child effectively. I can't say enough good things about it. Please feel free to pm with any further questions.

Hi, Just found a children's balance bike in Peckham Rye Park at about 8pm this evening. we found it in the new playground next to the one o clock club. If you think it might be yours please PM me with a brief description of the bike. I hope I can reunite it with the rightful owner. Thanks
