Dulwich Born And Bred

My GP was great , he wrote me a prescription for non dairy formula whilst we wait on our hospital appointment but my son refused to take the formula so I have just continued with breastfeeding. Never ever intended to feed longer than a few months but he has allergies , my breast milk is the best thing for him so as tiring and hard as it is, I just tell myself it won't be for much longer! My son also has allergies to nuts and some fruits. You will pretty much know the allergies due to hives or poos etc, o tend to every few months test a bit on his face to see if he reacts. Hope you get it sorted soon.

Absolutely uttering shocking especially as it could easily be my son since we co sleep , he is 21 months and still breastfed due to allergies , It's shocking.

My son is allergic to formula and he just got a rash on his face, nowhere else. HIPP causes the worst rash.

A council exchange? No.

I am by the sea and I don't drive and I am out and about all the time. I do my major grocery shop by ocado delivery so only need to pop into my local supermarket for bread etc. Taxi services here are excellent also and same price as London roughly. Local school is ten minutes walk, there is a shopping centre in town. I definitely feel a stronger sense of community here than Dulwich. My sister who lives in Maidenbower and my mum all want to live here now! I stayed in High Wycombe and Catford for a while and disliked both areas. Different people have different needs and my area meets all my needs. I thought I would struggle as did other people but it has been effortless. I am supposed to come and stay in Dulwich once a month but I cannot tear myself away from here and instead everyone has been coming here for fresh air, the sea and countryside. The unknown is always scary but how we perceive things is not always so.

The teenagers and kids here are really happy as there literally is loads for them to do that does not cost a fortune. I know my son will be absolutely fine getting around as the bus service here is excellent , every 15 minutes. I used my mum as a taxi service in London as I definitely did not feel safe travelling back from certain areas late at night on a bus. So quite a myth that the countryside is all dull , and with bodies in ditches.

Born and bred here and wouldn't live anywhere else .

Wished I had not read this: Latest news News I really really hope the witnesses will speak up on Daniel's behalf. It is a horrible tragic incident and I hope that someone out there will be brave enough to help those who did this to him punished by stating what they saw. I watched the iplayer Scenes from a teenage killing and I cried , as a mother , it is just one of my fears of something like this happening. RIP Daniel, and I would not even like to hazard a guess to how his family must be feeling :(

How utterly awful :(

I spent ?225 on a mattress from Mama's and Papa's that my son never slept on ( he sleeps with me) I feel robbed! I bought it after recommendations on here and thought that it would fool him into thinking it was just like Mummy bed but it never worked. Never again! I think second hand is only acceptable if it has not been used for a long time, has been stored correctly, and not been used with a rather sickly baby and has covers that can be removed/cleaned.

I thought it was just me but yes the forum has been very slow for the past couple of days.

Not read the posts on here but my breast fed son was not interested in solids until around 10 months old and still hardly ate much, even today at 16 months he is not much interested in food but yet he is just over two stones in weight!! I always took a multi vitamin during breastfeeding also and tried to give him things ( not cereals as he has allergies) that are high in iron. I think baby will lead and that is what you should go for instead of what these so called experts suggest ( and keep changing!).

Any luck?

Ahh I was going to suggest an airwrap which I have for sale!

I got mine from the chemist near the library , Sadlers Chemist. ( Near Costcutters/Val's/Red Apple) Mine says suitable for Children, Adults and the Elderly. It is in liquid form.

Personally? No I would not go. The fact you are breastfeeding also could be an issue if you have never left baby alone to be fed by someone else via expressed milk for the morning/evening feed. I also think an 15 hours flight is too much at that age, I would want to know I could get home in an hour tops if anything should ever happened. Its your baby, your life so you will do what you feel is acceptable for you.

I was the same during pregnancy ( mine was a boy) and I just ensured I ate lots of healthy food, drank lots of fluids and took pregnancy vitamins to ensure my body was as fighting fit as it could be with a baby taking all the goodness out of me. Creams and shampoos won't really help but maybe you could book a course of face treatment? they will make you feel better about yourself if anything else. Give it a few months and the hormones will settle down.

My boy was done at four/five weeks, I noticed it at one/two weeks. They said they were too busy and booked at the clinic to give him the snip but we begged and phoned them every single day until they got sick of us and booked us in. My son was the youngest there but he was not seen first, he had nothing to eat for four hours :( Hope you get it sorted, it is such a stressful experience ( after labour!). Keep us updated.

My son spent months screaming during the night, nothing I did helped, it was just night terrors and as he was asleep when he was doing the screaming and crying, he was not aware of it, and just had to get it out of his system before he fell back to sleep, I would cuddle him, stroke him etc but it did nothing. Lately ( touch wood) he has not had any night terrors for a few months so I hope it continues like that as it is extremely upsetting to hear them in such anguish and not being able to help but with night terrors, there really is nothing you can do, all you can do it try to stick to the same routine and no stress so it does not disturb them too much http://www.buzzle.com/articles/night-terrors-in-babies.html I hope she settles soon x

I have sent you a PM.

I have one for sale if you are interested.

Is there one happening this year?

Congratulations!! I am so broody with all these new babies being born xx
