Hi Jenny, my daughter is at the same nursery as yours and whereas at home she naps around 8.30-10.00, at nursery she still has a morning nap but its later and shorter. I think just because there's so much going on and babies will always do things slightly differently when not at home!

Hi, I won't be able to make a Nov one but could come along in Jan - how about Weds 11th?

Back to work - please tell me it'll be ok
Mathilda replied to Fidgetsmum's topic in The Family Room Discussion
I have recently gone back part time after 9 months, so not quite the same situation as you. The first week was hard - I was not used to getting us both up and out in the mornings and found it very tiring, I missed my daughter and worried all day about how she was getting on at nursery (she was getting on absolutely fine!) and we all came down with the dreaded nursery bugs. But three weeks in its getting much easier and we are getting into our new routine. I loved maternity leave, but there are good things about work, like quiet lunchtimes to myself, being in the buzz of central London and of course money! Also I can see that my daughter gets a lot out of her nursery days so that's a big plus. So I am slowly finding the balance, I'm sure you will too. Good luck! -
Lovely meeting everyone, a great night of wine, chips and good conversation. Thanks Yak for organising x

Calling all mums - what do I need in my hospital bag?
Mathilda replied to midivydale's topic in The Family Room Discussion
At home - probably obvious but DVD boxsets or lots of stuff recorded, keep it fairly light though! Also if you like to read, a Kindle is great because it makes it really easy to read one-handed whilst you are bf. -
Also these concerts every month are great: http://www.classicswithmybaby.com/dulwich/

Its not though is it? Both are 1:3 ratio for under twos.

Great see you all then x -
Hi wd152. Your initial post was a little intimidating so its good to have to backstory! I agree with ClareC though, the conversation about child related topics is often an ice breaker. Also people at baby groups are often more "colleagues" to start with and so naturally talk about their current job of looking after a baby, and compare notes. But you can move on to become friends over time. So hang in there, you will find plenty of cool mums in ED.

Hi stina, there's a drop-in class every Monday at 11am at the Francis Peak Centre in Dulwich Park, you take the baby with you. Its kundalini yoga, the teacher is on the forum as lauramcdora so if you do a search for her you should find more info.

To go back a few posts...I LOVED Away We Go, watched when 6 months pregnant, same as the main character and really identified with her! Maggie Gyllenhall great as the militant mum.

I'm surprised as well as go there most weeks in a group of mums and babies and have always had good service. Its a great space and always seems to be loads of kids in there!

who's dreading going back to work??
Mathilda replied to 2Loulou's topic in The Family Room Discussion
Hi itchy feet. Firstly you will quite likely feel much better physically by the 12 week mark so hang in there! Why is going on ML scary? There's loads of mum and baby stuff to do in Dulwich and you will be off over the summer so you might really like it - keep an open mind. Re nurseries I would just visit the ones closest to you and put the baby's name down if you like them, if it doesn't work out you can go for the childminder option which you wouldn't have to arrange until much further down the line. -

How about Jaflong or Surma, have you been to those recently? -
Looking for a tea group or regular babies/mum catch up
Mathilda replied to Clare11's topic in The Family Room Discussion
Hi Clare, there should be a thread on here called the summer babies club if you do a search, as the name suggests its a group of mums with June, July, August babies. Also Bumps & Babes Goose Green on Monday mornings, baby massage in Ivydale centre Weds I think, mum & baby cinema at Peckham and Brixton cinemas. -
