Yes, I used them for ages, cosleeping in a double bed to guard the outside edge, and also at first when toddlers slept alone in singles on holiday. They are pretty effective, they do stop a child rolling out though a small child can still Leap head first off the bed if they wish to. No fears about a baby getting its head stuck round a bed guard though. Buy one long one nearly as big as the bed. They don't fit well under standard fitted sheets, unfortunately. Very useful and inexpensive product though

It's closed, that's the truth of it. Closed by stealth.

I would send mine for a few days if Childcare vouchers can be used

I think periods of change (like moving house, new nursery) often lead to a need for reassurance that manifests as acting scared or babyish... Plus that sort of thing just ebbs and flows anyway Plus they go through a period of fascination with death at about aged 4 IME And their imaginations develop, hence they start to worry about monsters I think the answer is calm matter of factness about the perceived threats - avoid the dad showing any disappointment at the son's wimpishness, or talk of 'big boys' and just make sure there is plenty of gentle reassurance etc, probably at other times I think it's best not to over react at the actual moment they are getting worked up about something. Whether you try to force them In to it, give them Oodles of love or jolly them along, it's all attention isn't it ... Best just to ignore it as far as possible and steer a bit of a wide berth of the dangerous creature ... Playing with other children us good for minimising this sort of thing - they take their cue from the others

I have been corresponding with Lucy who says that they have the correct number of gps for their patient load, that they will be making some changes to try to improve access and anybody who has concerns can discuss with her directly

The sad thing is that the doctors are usually, fine, some of them are really lovely. The surgery just seems overwhelmed at times, you can't get through by phone, there are no appointments etc I fear it will only get worse with nhs reforms

I don't feel bad now about being assertive When twin 2 was 10m old despite several visits to the surgery a serious kidney infection was missed culminating in her having a fit, emergency hospital admission for almost a week Exactly a year later twin 1 was admitted to hospital with pneumonia that had also been missed About a year later, after twin 2 had been diagnosed with asthma and had a couple of ambulance dashes with that, both developed breathing problems at the same time I called DMc who had no Slots and sent me to the lister - where they tOld me the waiting time was 3h plus I went back to DMc and insisted on an appt The receptionist said one of them could see the emergency dr but not both ... I must admit I rather saw red Which one was the priority? The one who by then had had pneumonia twice, or the asthmatic one ....! Eventually they saw them both Now I just approach them ready to do battle if necessary

No I made several complaints to the practice manager and then explained all my woes to dr P when I saw her - now I find that if a problem arises she tends to call me back personally to sort it ... Alternatively Lucy Harvey sorts things and mails me or arranges a call. It's not very quick though, so isn't necessarily the solution if I can't get through to make an appointment. We usually end up at seldoc or a and e, which shouldn't really be necessary.

Dr p is lovely and also prioritises me, after previous complaints

Sydenham woods!

I haven't been struck off yet, despite a fair few complaints over the years! That person Lucy is actually pretty helpful if you are polite but firm...

And this is fascinating http://www.cwt.org.uk/pdfs/Formula_PTBReport.pdf

I would probably see the gp anyway - they might prescribe a blue inhaler to open the airways Night time coughing is no fun :-(

My daughter was diagnosed at 2. 3/4 after a couple of hospital admissions She is allergic to dust mites and often coughs persistently all night I don't know they decide it's asthma (allergic component?) but we have a strong family history which swung it maybe

How old is he? Could it be asthma?

Also, waiting till 6 and calling seldoc will mean either they get through to DMc on your behelf and DMc will squeeze you in between 6 and 7, or seldoc will see you themselves

Mail them. [email protected] and cc Lucy Harvey, the practice manager [email protected] Good luck.

I am a bit shocked that the exam board hasn't interviewed the pupils who complained. Taken on top of ofqual's meddling in this year's gcse pass rates, it does look like political meddling

Way have you been giving her? I don't think they chew as such at 7m. It's more a case of jamming food into their mouths and chomping, sucking or tearing a chunk off then learning how to swallow it, hence much gagging and drooling and bits of food falling back out of their mouths. Chunky chip sized pieces of peeled cucumber or low salt breadsticks are good at that age, iirc
