  1. Hello wise parents,


    I'm returning to work in a few months and hoping to have a nannyshare arrangement for our youngest, while our eldest will be at nursery. We're looking for three days' cover and it would be amazing if drop off and/or collection of our eldest could be done by the nanny. (Nursery is walking distance from ours) We think it'd best suit a family with a child of similar age to our youngest and can be flexible about hosting, depending on location.


    Does anyone have experience of nannyshare in this kind of scenario, and if so, do you have any tips on best logistics?

    Has anyone done a share where another family has the nanny for the remaining unused days of the week? If so, how did you work out fees please?


    Any feedback would be very welcome, feel free to pm me!


    Thank you

  2. Hello, if you're able to do both, I would strongly recommend it, for all the reasons listed above! I did hypnobirthing second time round, having done Nct first time. Nct will give you lots of facts and hopefully a nice group of people to hang out with, but in terms of managing labour - whatever course that takes, hypnobirthing was incredible. Check out London hypnobirthing - Hollie does classes in ED and is a brilliant teacher.


    Good luck!

  3. We're expecting our second baby later this year and I'm wondering whether to try a co-sleeper this time, rather than Moses basket. I know where c-sections are concerned co-sleepers are brilliant but am wondering if anyone has words of wisdom on whether they make babies more dependent on sleeping by parents, longer term. We were incredibly lucky with no. 1 - no Moses basket issues and generally a good sleeper, no issues moving into cot / into own room etc, so although we dont know what this little bundle has in store for us (!) at the moment I'm really mainly considering the co-sleeper from the ease of not having to get out of bed for bfeeding.


    Any feedback very welcome!


    Thank you.

  4. If you're looking for something to do over the next few days, there's a great new theatre production on at brixton's ritzy cinema from today until the end of the weekend. Gaga theatre company are showing their new show - a theatrical version of Oliver Jeffers' book Up and Down.


    It's sold out in Clapham and had a rave review in the mail on Sunday...

    Thanks!

  5. Hello wise parents,


    I need to buy a humidifier for my baby's room to help ease cold symptoms.

    I'd love to hear any recommendations from you as there are just far too many to choose from!


    I'm looking for something not too big but efficient and effective, durable and easy to clean / maintain. Ideally I'd like one with an optional nightlight rather than one I can't turn off. Lastly it needs to be really quiet.

    My head hurts from reading amazon reviews on all the different makes, so I'm hoping you can help me!


    Thank you
