Eating's cheating! (we're not bringing little ones to this are we?!)

Did somebody say wine? I'm in!

Hi all, Am I right in thinking there's a soft play type group at the EDT on Fridays? I think it stopped for summer hols, has it started up again now? What time's it on and is it any good? Suitable for a 10 month old? Thanks!

oops sorry I meant the number 12, baby brained myself back to North London!

The 73 bus goes all the way there and might be the easiest if you don't fancy lots of changes (tho probably not the quickest)

I thought we could take it in turns to host at our homes maybe?

I'm starting to have this problem too with my crawling 7 month old, maybe it would be nice to set up a "tea group" which people can take turns to host whilst the little ones crawl around, anyone interested?

All fixed now!

Hi, We've just been to visit this nursery too, it seems lovely although was wondering if charging a months fees as a holding deposit followed by another months fees on the first day the child starts is standard practice? Seems a lot of money upfront..

I'd be up for this too..

I can't recommend the Claire Nasir Bootcamp DVD enough - absolutely brilliant! I lost 4 pounds the first week I did it and it was actual inches off the thighs! I've just started running again but I actually think I prefer doing the DVD - it's interval training and seems to make me feel better afterwards than even a good old fashioned run!

I'm not using CC on her at the mo - think she's still a bit young. Also suspect she's building up to needing weaning so may be waking up hungry due to that - I'll go with the flow for now, see what tonight brings!

Yes I was wondering if I should have woken her from the lunchtime nap but was so amazed that it was actually happening! Will see how it goes tonight, I also thought it may have just been a bad night or the start of signals to start weaning, sleep regression etc. I'm hoping for 2 hours this lunchtime so I can grab some Z's too but bet I've jinxed it now!

Hiya, Thought I'd give a (hopefully not too longwinded) update. So a couple of nights ago I put LO to bed at 615, she slept till 5, had a quick bottle then back to sleep again till 7. That day she had a nap around 9 for 45 minutes, then I put her down at midday and she had 2.5 hours (thank you white noise!) We then went out and she had an accidental nap at 5pm in the pram for half an hour as that was the time I was coming home. She went to bed at 7pm last night and had the worst night in a long time! Woke at midnight for a feed, then 3am - I left her for 10 mins but she wasn't settling herself so gave another half bottle which did settle her but I could still hear her awake till about 430ish! Then woke again at 645 this morning - aaaah! Is it because of the 5pm nap do you think? I'll persevere for a few more days and see what happens, so tempting to just go back to the tried and tested routine though!

That's great thanks - we did try a couple of weeks of dreamfeeding a few months ago but it just seemed to confuse her more than anything else so a little wary of that. I think we'll try pushing her bedtime back to 7 - it's just a bit hard as by 6 o'clock she's REALLY grouchy - tiredness and hunger all seems to come to a head, hopefully once she's in a bit more of a routine this should get better though. I'll keep you posted!

Hi ladies, I was wondering if anyone had any advice with regards to naps for my 5 month old. She tends to go to bed at 6pm and sleep though till 6am, she's then up for an hour but gets grouchy v quickly so I put her down around 7 and she has her 2 hour nap then. The rest of the day is then completely all over the place, she tends to have a couple of 40 minute naps or sometimes more but they all vary in time. Perhaps I should try and keep her up in the morning or wake her up early from her 2 hour morning nap? Though it really goes against the grain to wake a sleeping baby.. The rest of the naps are always a complete nightmare incidentally and get progressively harder - by the afternoon I usually resort to taking her out in the pram, not that that's really such a chore! Is 5 months too young to try CC?

Hey, Anyone still up for this? Though typically the weather's not the greatest! x

My LO is a little night wriggler, to the point where she was waking herself up by hitting head on the railings so after some research I bought these bumpers which are absolutely brilliant: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Airwrap-Side-Protection-System-Sided/dp/B002CPO7BE She was also a very noisy sleeper so we moved her to her own room at 9 weeks and never looked back - despite the noise she also seems to be a light sleeper if that's possible? So I think we were keeping her awake as much as the other way around in our room, definitely sleeps much better now.

Hi Tamla, You're welcome to come along to the Winter Babies Club meetings (see the thread on here) We tend to meet on Tuesdays at 3pm but it's very relaxed - keep an eye on the thread on here for updates. I think a few of us are meeting up next Tuesday in Peckham Rye Park followed by coffee depending on the weather. Emma

Oh no Lou - hope the water's sorted out now. We're up for next Tuesday, hope the weather stays good! x

Hi, Sorry we've got family staying over for a few days so unable to make it too.

Hi all, Just got back from a chaotic morning so missed this but up for next week! How was the gardens? Worth making the new regular?

I'm not going to tell my 4 month old that they've changed, been meaning to change her night time to 7-7 instead of the current 6-6 so this way I'll get a lie in till 7 every morning, hoorah!

Hiya, We can make it - see u at 3! x
