Dulwich Born And Bred

Ditto Lidl nappies, cheap, cheerful and does not give my son any bum rashes.

I just ordered some magic gloves for my boy, magic gloves they are called and they stretch. I know he would refuse mittens because he likes going around touching everything so these seemed good. Magic Gloves

Dulwich cafe is doing a Halloween party, there is a notice in their cafe. Its on a Friday, and costs ?7.50 or thereabouts for a meal etc but you need to book in advance.

Nothing works for my son, and though I had used olive oil before and it did nothing, I thought I would try olive oil again which I left to soak , and then I gently massage all the dead skin off, I did circular motions with my fingertips, and it all came off and never came back!

On this site you are either for and against, if you question the MMR or any vaccinations, they think you are against it. It is a crime on this forum to ask questions when it comes to vaccinations. Like you my son has been vaccinated though not on the NHS timescales but on our timescale with support from my GP. As a concerned parent who wants to do the very best by the most precious thing in my life, my son, I like to question everything , more so when it comes to his health and possible long term problems. I really do not see the issue in more researches, and more options. At least we are taking an interest. Science also changes with time and more information, you can see that in past treatments/advice that no longer apply today. We have more vaccinations now than we ever did...is it a crime to ask what the possible problems this may cause in the future and if there are ways of preventing these problems?

Taper, plenty more about the role of Th1/Th2 on lots of websites including wikipedia, just because he is a 'Quack' when it comes to some things does not mean he does not know how the body works, the immune system is very complex, and there is no way the medical profession knows how it work completely, thus they cannot say it does not cause any knock on problems ( auto-immune disorders) if they know everything about the immune system I think we would have cures for these disorders but alas, most literature will confirm the immune system is highly complex.

The body, especially the skin is a good outlet for rejecting anything foreign in the body, so I think that babies with eczema after having their jabs is a side effect of the body dealing with the vaccinations. I would like more research into this. This is a good read: HOW IT ALL WORKS Vaccinations are usually effective in preventing an individual from manifesting a particular illness, but they do not improve the overall strength or health of the individual nor of the immune system. Instead, vaccinations modify the reactivity of the immune system, decreasing acute discharging inflammatory reactions and increasing the tendency to chronic allergic and auto-immune reactions.

Excuse me...can you explain again where I am advising the public to abandon the vaccines? A tad paranoid do you not think? Unlike a lot of people, I don't believe everything I read and see on the TV/Newspaper, if you have travelled you will see that each country feeds their people the information they want via the news, it is normal. More so because I suffer from recurring severe ear infections and my mother always said when I was a child, everytime I took antibiotics it would set off my ear infections. When I was in hospital with an infection after giving birth to my son, I was advised to have antibiotics, I informed then that it would trigger off an ear infection so could I maybe have something else? They all laughed at me and said antibiotics does not cause ear infections, and they can promise me that it will not set it off. Well, I took it and lo and behold, I had a horrific ear infection that lasted for ages. The moral to this story is just because in their labs and studies it does not seemed to cause ear infections, does not mean it does not cause ear infection, had I been in their studies the outcome would be different....do you get where I am going with this? All of us are different, we all react differently, doing a study on a hundred people in the country might have a different outcome to 100 people in town. What I do not like is people telling me that it is safe and does not cause this that and the other, when they do not personally know this themselves, they are just reading stats and being a parrot for the media. Unless you are personally giving the jabs to all these children yourself and monitoring them afterwards, please do not profess to know what is best for us. I have seen in all my family members that they all get skin conditions after having their jabs...now logic would tell me there is something to it. No one has austim in my family so personally that is not something I am worried about, I do not know anyone who suffers from austim either. But all this rubbish about a child can safely take 1,000s of vaccines is just that rubbish, my son reacts after one ( not badly but enough) so good luck to anyone to want to test that theory!! I think a survey should be done after vaccinations to see if there is a link to any of these disorders in children. I have seen the change and heartache my friend goes through with her son after one of his jabs ( it was not the MMR) she still believes in the vaccinations BUT not all in one go. So again...if people want singles, they should have singles. If people want to wait 6 months, they should be supported. What would you prefer? Avoiding the whole vaccinations altogether?!

I definitely believe in vaccine overload, I do not recall anyone coming up to me, my friends, family etc and asking us if our children have suffered anything since their jabs such as skin conditions, among others, so just because their studies proved what they say it proved, does not mean it applies to all of us, has any of YOU been asked if your children have developed anything since having their jabs?!. No one is saying vaccines should be banned let's get that straight. We are saying MORE choices in how we vaccinates our children, and that is not too much to ask for. Yes he was struck off, I did not say he deserves pity, but there is more to it than the what the media says, you should know never to trust the media to provide the whole story, it is always someone's opinion, sometimes no one is right.

I was constantly tired and absolutely shattered throughout my whole pregnancy, coupled with 24 hours nausea, my blood levels were fine so I just put it down to pregnancy, but definitely worth having your blood checked just in case. Hope you feel better soon.

Ditto Curmudgeon ! My GP has actually surprised me in this case and advised I spread out my son's jabs, and even advised doing the MMR at aged 2 or later. I was spacing them out anyway due to his allergies, the fact he had antibiotics as a newborn and that I have an auto-immune condition. I think more support should be given to parents who wish to spread them out or give single doses. One size does not fit all. I have a friend whose son is seriously ill after having one of his jabs, and she is working hard with other parents to try and get the Government to suppport parents in spreading out jabs, offering singles and ensuring there are no nasties that could do harm ( mercury/Thimerosal and so forth) I also do not believe that nature is such that our bodies would have to deal with various viruses/diseases at once ( MMR) and expecting a baby to deal with various strains of viruses injected into them at once is too much IMO, especially since they have so many jabs in the first year, this is a big assault onto their immunity. You will also find that Andrew Wakefield has admitted that children SHOULD have their jabs BUT have them all spread out throughout the years, these comments have been ignored and instead they are focusing on his studies that was not done properly. As Wakefield has said he had never opposed vaccination or claimed to have proof that MMR was linked to autism. "I never made the claim at the time, nor do I still make the claim that MMR is a cause of autism," he said. "You are conflating the two things. You are conflating the link with autism with the overall review of the vaccine." ]Quote I have read his research and his interviews and I do not think anyone has really listened to him properly or why he did the ( flawed) study in the first place. Wakefield Speaks

Thanks Molly, my son will probably be too big for that but thank you for the offer. I managed to by a cushion for children and have put that in his buggy behind his back for support, so far he has not complained to it must be doing the job!

Yep, the postman did the same to me today, saw him get into his van and drive off after delivering me a slip of paper, I was too late to catch him and demand my parcels.

I have a baby jogger which I love, but there is no support whatsoever for my son's back, he slouches and it looks uncomfortable. I have been googling trying to find something that would offer lumbar/posture support suitable for use in buggies but I keep drawing a blank. Does anyone have any advice on what I could use to prop him up a bit so he looks more comfortable? Thank you. HH.

What time?

This was last year, My sister was disappointed as Heber is closer but nope, it was Goodrich for both girls.

My sister lives on Landells Road and both her girls did not get into Heber but they got into Goodrich.

http://www.mothercare.com/Mothercare-My-Brest-Friend-Pillow/dp/B000TM0J0A?_encoding=UTF8& Maybe the Peckham or Old Kent Road branch sells it? My son was tongue tied and it was a lifesaver.

I could only use my brest friend pillow, it is hard , you strap it around your waist, it enables me to use both hands to support my boobs, and make sure the latch was perfect, I was able to see my son latch, and support my heavy breast so he did not get smothered! Worth a go? I get lumps in my breasts now and again and what I do is whilst I am feeding him, I massage the lump outwards, it does hurt but it always works as within the day the lump is out ( my let down etc is usually really fast when I am trying to massage the lump out).

Have you got a breastfeeding pillow for support? It was a lifesaver for me, my big breasts and my son!

LOL great minds think alike, I just posted about it on the thread after baking lots of cakes for the fayre tomorrow!

That is fantastic, thank you Molly!

I cannot open the file, could you copy and paste it instead? Thanks.

Carol said we are welcomed so I shall see you there on Thursday, Jack's will be dependant on how grumpy my little man is! I have not seen you since I was pregnant and came to your place to buy the blankets, sheets, and playmat! See you on Thursday.

Ahh my 12 months old son is too young for this, what a shame as it sounds good!
