Re Our previous buggy (Baby Jogger City Mini) failed quite spectacularly Hi. Please could I ask about this. I am mostly only using my bj for my baby now, but my older daughter, who is almost exactly your sons measurements, occasionally goes in it. Would you recommend avoiding her going in it any more?

No Sorry, I think my ds will be using it for a couple of months yet..

Yes I am using a graco in the city mini, it fits in nicely.

I'm using a graco soft Carrycot meant for the graco quatro travel system in mine. It fits really well. The wedge makes it lay flat (phil teds cocoon doesn't have one so baby would have head below feet if you want them facing you). You clip it to the D rings in the buggy. Our 3 month old is v snug in it and as you know city mini great to stear with 1 hand so you can keep hold of toddler with the other. You can buy it separately at toys r us for about 40 pounds (order online and collect at old Kent road store or have delivered).

Our daughter and her friends enjoyed the simple excitement of her 3rd birthday party at home recently, just as much as they did her 2nd last year. Like you said, its also a nice chance for parents to have a sit down cup of tea/cake and chat. For us we are trying to make the most of her being impressed with balloons and party bags from the pound shop and a bit of music on the stereo, as the time when she turns her nose up and demands an entertainer and venue will come soon enough.

Hello, Sorry only just seen your posts. Yes, as you've discovered Amott Rd is open during school term time. My little one loves it and wanted to go this morning!

Robert Doherty at 134 Lordship Lane (up soup dragon way) does them with no fuss for a good price. He's a lovely photographer and v friendly so after meeting him for a passport pic you may find you want to use him for a wedding or family potrait. 02086136113

Bee- I wonder if the doctor would prescribe colief for you, children's prescriptions are free.

Aceface "disappointed by the lack of enthusiasm, support and concern the threat of this closure is having." As you can see from the links to previous threads written before you discovered this, there is much enthusiasm, support and concern from people who, like you, are now awaiting an update.

Sorry, just reread your post and not sure I answered it. What I meant was any system is probably ok if you just tell them how to do it, why its important and then closely supervise.

We show our lo how to hold cd carefully with fingers on edge and through hole then closely supervise putting in. She can obviously then press the buttons required. We also remind her that cd must be held like this or it won't work anymore. Works pretty well as holding is closely monitored and she wants to do it well.

Hi Crystal. We haven't had it as bad as this but our daughter did recently go through a stage of sucking fingers during day much more than usual. I tried not to give it too much attention but occasionally very gently asked her to save the sucking for bedtime and more often reminded her to suck gently (fingers had got a bit sore). She's doing it less now and I don't know if this helped or not. It was one of a number of behaviours that started with the arrival of her little brother and it seems that giving it very little attention has made it one of the shortest lived. (or maybe it just stopped anyway, who knows!)

Hello Bee. My first baby fed like you describe, in v short chunks, as breast feeding just seemed to send her to sleep. Is your little oone a sleepy feeder? I found various ideas for keepiing awake whilst feeding (eg strip off clothes so there colder, tickle feet etc) you could do some googling for more ideas and try them out. The only one that worked for mine was to put her down as soon as she stopped actively drinking then pick up again when she woke (usually 1 min later) . Sorry you are having such a hard time, it is a different level of hard work/exhaustion when you have 2 isn't it.

Usually use Tesco with no problems. If I am very organised I use Asda, you have to wait longer for a delivery slot but will prob save some money.

Hi all. Does anyone know of any language or martial arts classes, age 3+, on week days during the day?

Does anyone know what week this restarts, if you can just drop in and if age almost 3 is ok? thanks.

Hello does anyone know when the 10am albrighton class starts again? Also could an almost 3 yr old go and do you just turn up? I tried contacting the teacher but think she is on hols at the mo. Thanks.

Hello Nabz The big Asda on old Kent road sell big boxes of all the different brands. They often have special offers as well, so you just work out what's the best deal each time. Also, Lidl's own brand has good reviews, although I haven't tried them.

Don't know about parties (as far too old and boring) but would recommend popping to one of the local hills at midnight (Honor Oak or Dawsons Hill). They are only a short drive/walk and you can see all the fireworks across the capital going off

Hello Ko It's closed for Christmas now, they had a Christmas party last week. When I asked when they reopen they thought probably the 11th but look at their Notice board outside the church to check in the new year.

We haven't had congestion this bad, but what we did have we tipped up the cot with books at the head end and put bowl of boiling water and children's olbas oil in room, regularly refreshing this through the night.

Today I noticed a bubble like blister on my 1 month old's lower left gum. I had been worrying that when he is a bit tired and has been feeding a lot he seems to have difficulty opening wide to latch on the right breast and doesn't suck so hard. Maybe this explains that. I wonder if anyone has any tips for soothing his gum please, or any other ideas. Thank you.
