Saw this and thought of this thread...


We have a Haba doll (Nelle) for our son, got it for his second Christmas (16 months) from BabaMe online. She is lovely often played with and usually naked! He also has a pushchair (ironic given he was hardly ever in one!) and as much gender neutral stuff as I can find in both clothing, toys and books. Books with strong heroines are also very important to me and it is a bugbear of mine that due to my inability to drive he totally associates driving with men! I will definitely explain I'm an exception to the rule on that score when the time comes!

Hey just to say I have a 20m old boy who has a doll, he likes feeding it etc, isn't the most exciting toy for him but he does like it & I'm pregnant so we talk about mummy's baby a fair bit too. In terms if which one it is, it's a smaller than life size one but he refuses to put its clothes on so it just has its cloth body.

Just get a cheap one & see if he likes it?

Thanks again - and bluesuperted, I like the way you think! When someone gave my boy a book of construction vehicles for his first birthday, I was somewhat bemused, but it immediately became his favourite and he knew the names of all of them within about two weeks. Big shock for my husband too, who hates cars, refuses to drive (despite having a licence) and was not expecting this.


Good suggestion too mrs f; I think he still has no idea what I'm on about when I talk about the baby, but I'm not too worried about that at this stage. April might as well be next century, as far as he's concerned!

I think I want a haba doll...for myself!


My boys (3 and 1) have a couple of dolls - we have a charlie (as in Charlie and lola) and a haba-esque rag boy doll. They are both pretty much ignored, sadly, and 1 yr old pushes duplo block around in his dolly buggy....

Cornelia, my son now thinks everyone has babies in their tummies, including himself... It's gonna be slow progress getting there but we talk about it a every day, I even got him to kiss the bump the other day but since then all requests for affection have been met with bye baby!

The doll can't harm, your son may like it even more when your baby comes along, ask someone to get him one for Xmas?

Ours came from his grandmas house as she has a stash of toys.

      'Foodbank' street collector outside M&S

      I mean good luck to you, but with 4 staff you have still failed to submit your statutory accounts for your two eligible years of operation and are overdue with them this year too. Companies House have taken steps to close you twice. Your annual loss in trading is increasing each year.  You have had two directors resign in 2022 leaving only 1 in place which isn't the best if you want good governance- but that also stops you from being able to raise funds from trusts and foundations.

      Decision 2 April - Proposed Development - The Sidings, Railway Rise, SE22

      There's still a massive shortage of student housing in London regardless of short term fluctuations - just look at how expensive it is now and what a barrier it is to mobility! What are people worried about anyway? That there will be so few students in London that a private landlord has to cut rents and makes lower profits? Oh no! 😂

      Looking for a GP with experience of autoimmune rheumatic diseases

      By Sue · Posted

      This is probably a stupid question, sorry. Could you contact all the surgeries whose catchment area you are in (and haven't already found wanting) and ask them directly if they have GPs with the knowledge and experience you need? Because I imagine there are not many people using this forum who can help, though I may be wrong.

      Lordship Lane Post Office Closure

      By Sue · Posted

      I don't understand this, probably my fault. I thought the Crown offices were going to close completely and the  services they provided were going to be moved to local shops with space for a sub post office. But if the Post Office is  seeking franchisees for the Crown offices, that implies that the offices themselves would stay. But if they are not profitable for the Post Office, how could they become profitable for a franchisee?
