I've got his phone number after buying a sign. I'll PM you.

Yep, totally understandable. I liked the doctors there too.

Have you ever been to this baby clinic before? I left the surgery after repeated bad experiences. It did start at 1.30 a year ago but you want to be getting there 15 mins early to line up and get a number. When you do line up, be prepared for swathes of folk to then push in front of you when the numbers are released. I asked a lady not to push in and she threatened to kill me and my baby when we left the surgery. Sorry to be so negative and hope it has changed in the last 6 months?

Weight watchers have set up a new one on Bushey Hill Road, opposite the Art College on Peckham Road. Quite close to ED and plenty of free parking.

Camberwell Cars took us twice in two days. Same guy as well. He said they do a lot.

Wow! I've got half a brain, but responding to this consultation requires detailed reading of an enormously wordy document, in order to answer such fantastically specific questions such as.... "Do the dispensation guidelines still adequately reflect current operational issues?" What? Who cares? Can you just make my baby sleep longer than 4.45am by sorting out your planes?

Have a look at the thread in the family room. James Barber PMed people with kids [cold contact by finding us in the Family Room] and explained the need for support for Harris who would fix all of our our primary school problems.

I got 50p for a first tooth in 1988. I asked a saddo I know to work out the inflation....and it would now be 90p.

It was pretty horrible, as you're obviously tired from waking at 5am [in our case] and then you keep your little one up until normal morning nap time [hideous] and instead of letting them sleep/catching an hour or more yourself, you wake them up 30 mins later. But it did fix things.

You do realise if we all keep recommending kuki we'll never get an appointment :)

We had this and somebody advised us to specifically shorten the morning nap without changing any other naps. Problem sorted in 2 days.

Thanks all, I'm not too fussed on when he sleeps...I'd just like him to have more than 55 minutes a day. Still early days I guess and yes I'm sure morning nap will be gone soon.

My 10 month old son was a troublesome napper when he was titchy but from 7 months onward I had nailed naps. I put a lot of hard work in and had a baby who would settle himself for a 45 minute morning nap and a 1 1/2 - 2 hour lunch nap. Off to bed at 6.45pm and woke religiously at 6am. He started nursery in the 1st week of December and his naps are all over the shot while at nursery. He's been back with us over the Christmas holidays and even with the upheaval of staying at 3 different family members up north, he still slipped straight back to his nap routine. Nursery say that he doesn't want a morning nap. Then they say he fell asleep while playing at 11am [no surprise right...with no morning nap]. They wake him up at 11.30 for lunch and then he struggles to go back asleep at 12.30pm [when all of nursery have their lunch nap] and only has 30 minutes. Which makes sense if he had a nap at 11am. I can't bear the thought of my little fella, trudging through until he falls asleep on his face in a pile of toys. I don't know how much I can ask of them in terms of putting him to sleep? They have a little dark room with cots. I've provided a sleeping bag and some of his nap time books but I'm aware that they have other babies to work with. To add, my son is very happy at nursery, is always happy to see his key worker and always seems cheery at drop off and collection. I also like all the staff in the baby room. But I'm really keen on good day time sleep. During early December he didn't learn a new thing...and then after 9 days at home he can sit up himself and pull to standing and cruise round the room. Am I expecting too much?

Sainsbury's have a lot of little lego goodies. Lego keyrings with a torch [including a Darth Vader one], a lego sandwich box [i don't know how big your stocking is], a lego luggage tag that my friend's son has on his PE bag....

The boys in my tutor group are completely addicted to Top Trumps games at the minute. Just a thought.
