Another recommendation for Lizzie at Dulwich Therapy Rooms! We went through exactly what you describe, but three or four sessions with Lizzie sorted my little one right out. Lizzie was really good at explaining the physiology to me - how the tongue tie effected the jaw movement - which I found useful. And it was lovely seeing my baby being able to open wide for a textbook latch at long last! Good luck with it.

Hi there, The last few times I've been to York I've stayed in one of these apartments: https://www.clearlyapartments.co.uk/ They're all really centrally located and pretty good value I reckon. Over the summer we went to York as a family and they were able to provide a travel cot for us, no problem. You can book online obviously, or there's a really helpful lady in their office, Jane, who might be able to advise which apartment would be the best fit for your family. Hope that helps! Ps Like your cunning plan :)

This is a last minute plea to borrow or buy a pair of baby ear defenders. We're off to the Anniversary Games at the Olympic Park tomorrow, and suddenly realised it might be quite loud for our 20week old baby?! Can anyone help us out? Many thanks in advance, Natalie xx

Thank you! I'll check those out. N x

Hi there, I wondered if someone with experience of a Bugaboo Bee might be able to help me out with some advice... Before Christmas I bought a great second-hand Bee which came with various accessories, but not the cocoon for newborns. I know you can buy generic, unbranded footmuffs for older children that fit the Bee and are significantly cheaper than the Bugaboo branded ones. But does anyone know if you can get something suitable for newborns? If not, I'll happily buy a Bugaboo one, but just thought I'd see if I could save a few pennies first! Many thanks, Natalie xx

Hi there, I wanted to check in to say I'm still watching this thread and keen to meet up with folk in the New Year. Things are just a little hectic before then! I hope everyone's pregnancies are progressing well and you all have a lovely Christmas, N x

Hello! Thanks for getting the ball rolling on organising a meet up. I'd definitely be keen to join! Like some others, I'll be more flexible in the New Year, but of course very happy if that means joining in at a second meet up. rougepamplemousse - I'm very impressed with your collating of everyone's dates! To be more specific, I'm due on 9th March (though not holding my breath for an arrival on that date!!). Hope everyone's well, n xx

Hello! And congratulations to all you second time mums! Are there any other first timers out there?! I'm expecting my first at the start of March, and despite a growing bump am struggling to get my head round the fact that we'll be a family of 3 come the spring. xx
