Hi all, I'm due 7 December and would love to meet up. So can I just check that it is this sat 10.30am Green and Black ? Also I will probably have my 7 year old and 1 year old is it OK to bring them along? Thanks Natalie

Hi, I decided to get a few different colours(although my daughter usually always wears red!) that way the the my daughter still feel like she is getting to choose and I don't mind which colour as long as we don't have tears and tantrums :) For me the choice of colours is great and lets the kids express their personalities a little more than more traditional uniforms. !One word of advice on ironing, ALWAYS iron on reverse of logo. I learnt the hard way :) Natalie x

Hi all, Hope I didn't offend anyone by saying 'how soon is too soon?', just wondered what everyone personally thought. For me a few weeks felt right but I know for some this would be too soon. It is a very personal choice :) Natalie

Morning, I was just browsing this morning and found this interesting question on 'Sex 4 days after birth could I be pregnant?'. I just wondered what everyone thought about how soon is too soon??? Here is the link http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100912033513AADKpDN Natalie

Hi all, I'm due in December with my third! I also help run NCT Nunhead tea groups so will put a post on here and the Nunhead forum when we are having the next one. Are you still meeting this Monday 13th, in the cafe? Thanks Natalie

Thanks this is a great resource. It is especially great for the days my pregnancy brain won't allow me to think :)

Hello, This is the response I got from Sainsburys 'Thanks for your email about the recall of Aptimil first milk. This product recall is only affecting the batch of stock that was sent to Sainsbury's. The manufacturers contacted us and only informed us that there was a quality issue with the stock. They would not give us any more information. For precautionary measures, Sainsbury's removed the stock from the shelves until we get more information from our suppliers.' ... think I shall contact Aptamil to ask them why that batch of stock was removed, I'll let you know their response. X

hello, I checked the Aptamil website and saw the follwing http://www.aptamil.co.uk/en/article.asp?chco_id=2729. This may be a reason why Sainsburys removed it from their shelves? I have also contacted Sainsburys, but as it's as it's a sunday, I may have to wait till tomorrow for a response. I will keep you posted. Natalie

Hello, Thanks for letting me know about this site Catherine. This site is really quick and easy to sign up to - I just did it in about 2 mins. And everything is local, within a mile. Natalie

Hello, I have been here and like many things with children - they go one step forward 2 steps back! If the toilet isn't on the same floor as his bedroom, you could try putting a potty in his room and then he may feel happier getting up at night knowing the potty is right there. You could also try rewarding him for staying dry all night with a... STICKER CHART. I found these two things really helped my daughter get use to staying dry at night/ using the toilet (potty :)) Good luck and feel free to PM if you wanted to know anything else Natalie

Congratulations reren on your pregnancy! Oakwood midwives are fantastic but Brierly are just as great. And NCT- trying calling Alison on 0844 243 6921 for Antenatal classes in our area (it's worth getting in as early as possible) and you could email Alice about Bumps and babes (weekly group for expectant and new parents) bumpsnbabes@southlondonnct.org.

I had morning sickness from conception until about 21 weeks (sorry). It was bad but got better as the weeks went by so hopefully it will get better for you in a few weeks. Plain crackers worked for me :)) Natalie x
