Stumbled across this - looks interesting Would be good value for a weekend http://www.palacefarm.com/rooms.html

My daughter was on prophylactic antibiotics for almost a year, it is an option I think?

If he only slept 2 hours from 5am -5pm then took 5 hours to settle, I think at 4 weeks that's pretty unusual. I can't help thinking silent reflux or a tOngue tie Or sOmething is going on Sorry if I missed the answers - am On Phone Is he bf or ff? Yellow poo? Gaining weight?

It does look like testing for a cause of repeat infections would be essential - my daughter had ultrasounds and a nuclear medicine scan. Whether she is holding on because of fear of pain, or because of some physical cause, that needs to be checked out.

Air con is pretty essential

How many children would you like? Some cars won't take 3 car seats

Ruskin pool is closed today, being cleaned

Most of us don't have much experience of babies at all till we have our own, even I must say I found my first child minder was incredibly skilled at baby soothing etc I still rely on some work mates (all grandmothers, even great grandmothers) for advice at times

It can't be underestimated, the difficulty of early pArenthood without our own family close by Humans are social animals and we have evolved to live in groups precisely to that this sort of task can be shared amongst 'the tribe' with older women, in particular, available to care for the new mother and baby To try to manage alone is not what we are designed for It's not easy

Oops Glad someone is awake! Looks like it might be one of the adventure playgrounds for us this afternoon. I will be the one chasing after a 20m old while my twin 4 year ols climb up the high bits and shriek 'mummeeeeee!' from opposite directions

Ellie, he does sound as if something is going on... Don't blame yourself My first baby was very similar ... Not sure we ever cracked it but muddled through with mr f taking him out for long walks Though eventually we tried cosleeping and I managed to get enough sleep You must try are to look after yourself - ESP in this heat Drink gallons Eat regularly Have a shower in the morning, and prob again in the evening, or a coolish bath Don't worry if you feel like you have no milk left, it's when he feeds and you feel empty that your body gets the message to up production (growth spurt) How is his weight gain? Is his poo yellow? Why do you think he's dehydrated? That's cause for concern

Really worth watching!

Never mind! Always the way...

3-5pm at goose green tomorrow

Term times usually 5 I think

It's sandy http://www.visitkent.co.uk/explore/thedms.asp?dms=13&venue=3202914

Took my 9 year old today, 8 is the official limit I think

Not out of London but the following are all good Docklands museum via east London line/dlr Has good toddler area ... Docklands nice to stroll round Cp park and one O clock club, Which is open mornings Easy day out ... One o clock club followed by swings and sandpit Surrey docks farm, walk after along the Thames, there are some swings close by with good pirate ship

It's future is uncertain Lovely here right now .. They have their water spray on and loads of wet children are dashing about Much easier for water play than many places ... A good place to come if you are alone with a baby and a toddler, for eg as there is plenty of shade, toilets etc

Hasn't closed Such an easy cool fun place open mornings and afternoon It's on the edge of the park, right beside a little car park (and the entrance is from the park side, by the car park) Costs a bit under ?4 They sell drinks and snacks

Minnis bay in Kent - low key beach

The 3 places I just listed, you can use tesco days out vouchers, which means a huge saving ... Also at Southend pier fair ground (adventure world?) which is brilliant for age 5-12, I would say, no queues even on busy days and tesco voucher gets you a wrist band for access all rides
