Jag & Sandra (vars dotter ?r hos sin dagmamma idag) ?ker dit nu! Min Anabelle har en knallgul prickig regnjacka.. vi s?tter oss inne p? caf?t s? spana efter den! Ses snart! :))

Neej vad trist Hanna! Bex kommer du? Jag & Sandra har t?nkt g?! Lite regn stoppar inte oss ;) Jag ?r bortrest mellan 27/4-7/5 (jobbar i Norge varje m?nad), men jag kan h?nga med en annan g?ng!

Verkar bli trist v?der.. men vi kanske kan luncha tilsammans inne p? caf?t om det regnar just n?r vi ska ses? ?r det uppeh?ll & relativt fint kanske kidsen kan f? stoja runt ute en stund? Vore trist att st?lla in, har sett s? mycket fram emot att tr?ffa er alla! S? vid 'the children's meeting point' utanfor kaffeet kl 11? Regnar det s? kanske vi kan ses inne p? caf?t? Ska bli j?ttekul att tr?ffa er alla!

Vi kanske kan b?rja f?rs?ka f? till en svensk stor playdate n?gon g?ng i m?naden? :) Hade varit j?ttekul! Viktigt ocks? f?r kidsen (& oss!) att h?lla ig?ng spr?ket..

Funkar kl 11 p? tors 26:e b?ttre? :) Vi hade kunnats ses vid 'the children's meeting point' utanfor kaffeet?

Kul att vi ?r s? m?nga! Vad s?gs om att vi alla ses ?ver en picknick i Dulwich park n?gon dag? :) Jag ?r bortrest just nu men vad s?gs om ons 25/4 kl 11, funkar det f?r er andra? Sk?nt nu n?r det b?rjat bli lite varmare s? att man kan vara ute!

Annars hade det ju varit en perfekt plats! Annars vet jag att det mysiga & fr?sha Victorian In (undrar om det var det r?tta namnet?) pubben/hotellet i h?rnet p? Bellenden Road har ett stort lekrum.. Kanske g?r det att ordna n?got d?r (har n?gon v?garna f?rbi f?r ni g?rna fr?ga). Vi ?r tyv?r bortresta tills den 20/2, men efter det hittar vi g?rna p? n?got! M?ndagar brukar vara r?tt tr?kiga & inte s?rskilt m?nga lekgrupper att v?lja p?. Vad s?gs om att ses d?? Kl 10? Hade varit kul att ordna en fast playdate (f?r b?de mammor & pappor med barn i alla ?ldrar som har svenska anor) 1-2 dagar i m?naden! Intresse f?r det?

I dont really see the problem with continuing this thread in Swedish considering the intitial message specifically asked for Swedish/Scandinavian mums (so if you're not, there's probably no need to worry that "we would be talking about you")??

Maybe they don't find it worth the hassle? I also believe a big reason is attitudes. In Sweden, no one would throw you out from a bus or give you a weird look just because you breastfeed in public. Breastfeeding is the norm there and you're rather considered strange if you bottle feed without having a special reason for this. Would be interesting to know why the attitudes differs so much.. I read a Swedish article the other month; a woman in Sweden went to the pub with her friend and her baby.. The bartender declined her a small glass of whine with the reason she was breastfeeding!

Hade aldrig kunnat ana att det fanns s? m?nga svenskar i omr?det! Vad s?gs om att ordna en enda stor playdate? :) Verkar ju som att kidsen ?r i ungef?r samma ?lder! Skadar nog verkligen inte att de f?r umg?s med andra sm?ttingar & ?va p? spr?ket. Anabelle har varit p? dagis varje fredag i endast tv? m?nader (med n?gra extradagar emellan?t) & huxflux kan hon fler engelska ord ?n svenska! "Cookie" verkar vara favoritordet (undrar vad det s?ger om hennes mamma hehe)

Klart pappor ocks? f?r vara med! :) Tea party l?ter intressant, det f?r jag kolla in! PM:ar!

I know this is an old thread by now, but just wanted to say I'm so grateful for Kings milk donors! My daughter was born 7 weeks prematurely and had donors milk during her first weeks in life until I managed establishing breastfeeding. She's now a strong healthy little girl! THANK YOU! :)

Hi, My name is Ida ad I live close to Lordship Lane with my soon 2 year old (in Feb) daughter and her Portuguese father. Are there any other Swedish or Scandinavian mums out there? Would be great for both me and the little one to practice more Swedish! Kind regards, Sweda

Ohhhh.. Swedish food would be awesome as the only shops selling that is down central! I'm crossing my fingers!

Why the rush of weaning earlier than 6 months..? There's so many studies that breast milk (especially) excludingly is the best option for a baby the 6 first month. Not to talk about the mess and work you need to put behind weaning a child! Once I spoke with a woman who said she gave baby rice to her 2 month old daughter who was just crying all the time (no wonder, her little immature tummy probably was hurting really bad!!). Baby tummies cant digest and gain all the nutritions from solids in a very young age..
