I'm interested. Do you have details about date, time, cost?

This sound great, I'm sorry I missed it. Is there anyone else who missed out and might be interested in organizing another one?

My son was 9wks prem as well and I waited until he was 6mo corrected (so 8months.) All went well at that point and he progressed as normal baby of 6 months would have. Have had no issues with allergies or anything like that which can sometimes crop up with solids given too early. I had a great resource for all of this stuff...The Premature Baby Book by Dr. Sears (from the US) it was great and gave lots of good info specific to preemies.

I'd say let it go and try again later. I've got a degree in child development and worked for years running a nursery. I always told parents that if you wait until your child is developmentally ready and didn't push them it would happen quickly and easily. Of course I failed to follow that advice for my own child and earlier this year found myself in the same position as you, similar age too. I thought he was showing readiness but he wasn't. It only worked if I hounded him about going to the potty "to try." Eventually he started to resist more and more and so I backed off. Recently he pulled out a pair of big boy pants from his drawer and wanted to wear them....he hasn't looked back since! I swear we went about a week and he was running off to the potty when his body told him it was time for a wee instead of Mummy :-) He's 3 years plus 2 months now.

Hi There, I also have a 3year old boy and would be interested in meeting up. We live in SE23 but have no prob going over to dulwich park, etc.
