Congrats Olivia and Emily. Emily did the Tens machine help?


Nikki and Jane had no idea your boys also had tongue ties. Crazy how common this is. Both my boys had them. First son diagnosed late at 6 weeks and did take a while after the snip, he had to relearn how to feed basically but did get it but unfortunately he had already done me some mega damage. Sam's one is far less severe and they didn't actually snip it.


In terms of feeding, my toddler was also a nightmare in the early weeks, clambering all over me and attention seeking but is better now he is used to it and quite helpful at times (sam is 9 weeks now)Tried to time feeds with his meals,snacks etc and used lots of cbeebies, iPhone or iPad apps etc.

5-7 time is still tough but there was a great thread on here a while back about good routines. I just make sure that I have my toddlers milk, pj s etc all ready in the bathroom and then try and bundle both boys out and give them milk ASAP otherwise get total meltdown from both!


Hope to make this Tuesday as keep missing them!

Hi nikki,

Isaac was diagnosed as well with posterior tounge tie and high palate but in the end was not snipped as bf would still not have worked out, too much damage caused already.

He is apart frm reflux doing really well now.

Hope your lil man is getting better real soon.

Love caroline

Hi All, annoyingly I won't make the gardens today as I have a feeder on my hands and midwife visit between 12-1pm. Dexter has hit the two mark and seems to have developed an appetite (eventually).


Nikki - hope stress levels have fallen now Sam's on the bottle, I must say I'm a bit jealous of you!! Bottle is so quick and much easier with hyper toddler flinging themselves around in too close proximity to nipples clamped in baby's mouth. Oh the joys of the early weeks - is it wrong to wish time would fast forward a few months?!?


Anyway, hope all is well with everyone and look forward to catching up next week as I'll make that one so see you there.

Hello Ladies,


Just wanted to say Congratulations to all the new deliveries!

I have been an absent friend on the forum for nearly a month but I do think of you all, & can't wait to join a meet up again soon.

The last event I made it to was a breakfast at Franklins on the 14th attended by an elite gang of half a dozen of us, it was so lovely & the chats & warmth with the other Mummys and Mums-to-be really gave me a boost.

Allegedly I have 2 days to go, but I think it will be longer... my little one seems perfectly content sticking around inside, amusing himself by kicking my ribs black & blue!


Good Luck to everyone else who is still waiting...

XX from Elisabeth

Hello all,


Congratulations to all new mums!

Just wanted to say that we had a tiny baby girl, Hannah, on 7 May after 3 days of induction! Lucy, I know how it felt!

Also getting out of hospital seemed an impossible feat!! But, the main thing is that we are home now and getting used to a life with a busy toddler and new baby!


Hopefully see you all next Tuesday in the Gardens.

Hello Ladies,


I'm hoping to join you tomorrow at The Gardens, if there's room for one more?

Am currently 4 days overdue, with my little one showing no signs of wanting to appear!

Would be lovely to catch with you and meet some new arrivals.

Hello Ladies,


Nice to see those at the Gardens today. We had a chat about trying to do some exercise together. After a bit of research it would appear there are enough exercises you can do with baby in a sling [and lying on a blanket for a quick stomach exercise] for us to set up a little circuit session in the park.


Does anyone fancy this? I need to point out I am in no way qualified to instruct anyone in the ways of physical fitness [so injuries would be your own liability] but I reckon we could have a laugh trying them. The more people looking like idiots in the park the less we look like idiots right? :)


Any thoughts one when? We could do it on a Tuesday on the Rye before the Gardens meet up? Or 10am on a Friday at Lucas Gardens in Camberwell and then go for tea and crumpets at the Crooked Well?

      Nursery school

      By tomem · Posted

      Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report.

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.

      Boycotting US products

      Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.
