Hi all I know not ED but does anyone know if the gift shop Artemidorus is open in Herne Hill after the flooding? It's just they did sell some lovely wooden Noah's Ark animals and we wanted to get some more for my son's birthday. Was just checking if anyone knew if it was open before making the journey round there! And yes I've tried phoning them but no answer! Thanks everyone

Thanks everyone for all your really helpful suggestions and wit too! I'm just weighing up all the different options but in the meantime if anyone else has any other advice then keep it coming! Many thanks. Quick other question for now... don't suppose anyone has a JojoMama harness to sell? That looks like it would help my sore back no end! x

Hi everyone Am after some advice about my little un and his frustration about not being able to walk but really wanting to! He's 10 months now and can't crawl yet but is constantly pestering me to stand up and walk with me holding his hands which is exhausting and no good for my back! Has anyone else experienced this and, if so, what advice would you give about baby walkers etc. or any baby 'toy' that helps with this stage. We do have a wooden walker thing with bricks in it but he can't operate that himself and I also have to hold him on that so it doesn't really help with his desire to become an independent little boy! (Or help Mum!) Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi I think the lady you might be after is Hazel who is brillant. She lives in East Dulwich but will come to your house too (for a fee). Her contact details are: Hazel Jones IBCLC NCT Breastfeeding Counsellor 020 3602 7710 But I'll second that Anna Cannon is also great.

I've just called Gems and they said they are shuting down due to an issue with the owner! Does anyone know anything about this? Such a shame as looked good on their website and a perfect location!

Hi Can anyone recommend either a nursery or childminder in the Peckham Rye area. Pref near to Bellenden Road. I know there are nightmares with waiting lists at some places and fear I may have left it too late already! In particular I live near the Thomas Calton Creche, Destiny Kids Nursery and Excel Childcare Services. Would anyone recommend any of these? Any advice would be very gratefully received. Thanks Sarah

Hi I'm trying to find a group of people who formula feed their babies and would be happy to meet up for a coffee say once a week in the Peckham Rye/East Dulwich area? I really struggled with breast feeding and although didn't want to move onto formula in the end decided it was the best thing to do to make sure my baby got fed and I kept sane! There are so many things geared up to support breast feeding Mums but wondered if anyone would be happy to join a group to support Mums who are formula feeding their babies? My baby is 8 weeks old.
