As Pickle says, there is no need at all to buy the liner, once your baby outgrows the cocoon you can use the foot muff. We didn't buy the bugaboo branded foot muff, instead we got a sheepskin foot muff which you can unzip the top part off, so it is a foot muff in winter and a sheepskin liner in summer. similar to the one on the link below, horribly expensive - the most expensive bit of kit we bought apart from the buggy itself - but then again it's the same price as the bugaboo branded foot muff but nicer, and can be used as a sheepskin liner so if you're planning to buy one of those for summer as well as a foot muff now then you'd save money. You can pick them up on ebay for cheaper http://www.greenbaby.com/Stroller-Bag-Waterproof-p-KA65411

Admin, not sure if it's ok to put this up here, apologies and please advise if not, but the family room seemed the most suitable place following recent threads about lack of summer work for young people locally, this is an opportunity that would suit a techie student back for the holidays or similar, or maybe a school leaver who is very technically able... We are a small and creative photo booth events company based in South London. We need someone to help us over the summer on an adhoc basis providing technical support building and troubleshooting our new photo booths. You will need to be good at troubleshooting software and hardware and a good problem solver. Ideally you will be a computing student on your summer holidays and a technical wizard. This is a good opportunity to get involved in a start-up. It is paid work but will also be good work experience for the right person. Please send your CV to [email protected] or call 0208 7613500

We don't use anything day to day, we only use the weleda cream when we see she's a bit pink or metanium if she gets nappy rash, but think quite a lot of people use a bit of cream as a matter of course with every change as a barrier for prevention, but haven't felt the need so far. As Saffron says, prob a good idea to put some on after a bath tho as a barrier in case they get a bit chafey, tho we don't do this - keep meaning to start as is probably a good way to prevent.

the best cream for when they have nappy rash is metanium we use the Weleda calendula nappy cream when she just looks a bit pink but doesn't have nappy rash

Several toddlers I know have had severe diarrhea bugs in the last week after playing in the dirty water at Brockwell paddling pool, including 2 that have had to go to A&E because it was so severe, such a pity cos obviously it is lots of fun, but the water just isn't clean enough..

Pagoda, that sounds rather judgemental, I actually don't see anything wrong in the slightest with having a nice chat / biscuit with the other mums / grandparents / child minders at a playgroup (while obviously always supervising what your child is doing!), my toddler doesn't want me helipcoptering around her every second while she scampers round exploring, she's playing one on one with me at home for hours a day, I don't think mums shouldn't be made to feel inadequate for wanting to have a bit of adult interaction at a play group as long as they're being vigilant and interacting with the child as well..

Another vote for the ergo, if you would like to come round and try our ergo you're very welcome Dudley

sounds great, keep us posted nanny penny, we will definitely come

I've just had to read this several times to search for a trace of humour or irony, but it's for real, right?! Crikey, so in what way is she being selfish exactly? You might not think her grounds for taking her daughter out of school for a few days are sound, but selfish? Really?? And leading to ANARCHY? I mean, reaaaallllly? This has cracked me up, thank you!

I'm sure what Oimissus says is true and is why this line is included, but it's still bl**dy rude! So patronising, like you're one of his/her pupils!

thanks admin!

Hi James, Is anything happening with this? In the last couple of days I've had cars whizz past me while on these crossings every time I cross (as usual!) and also seen a car whizz past a mum pushing a buggy while she was half way across. Really do think it's only a matter of time before someone gets hit, unfortunately.

How come I can't attach a link anymore, that button seems to have disappeared? thanks for help!

We find vapour rub on the soles of feet seems to reduce night coughing, as does Tixylix cough syrup, there is one that a 19 month old could take. Hope tonight is better, so horrid for them, our daughter keeps waking herself up with a coughing fit too

Ruth, that is GOLD!

I do agree it's absolutely hideous to bring this prom stuff to primary schools, yuk!

my mum told me that me and my brother asked how babies were made when we were 4, and she told us the truth, at which point we rolled around on the floor laughing like drains and told her not to be so stupid.

could not get by without our dryer! we bought a condenser one second hand on here for about ?60 and has been really useful...like Ruth we have no garden and this means the whole flat isn't hung with washing like Fagin's den 24/7!

....It really is wearing thin now, being trapped inside so often because the sky is always threatening a downpour! Really not very good for morale....keep telling myself it may be an Indian summer, but probably this is not the way forward as keeping the hope for a bit of sun alive will only lead to disappointment!

My partner found the information about how to support me during labour pretty useful and enjoyed the classes (which I didn't necessarily expect!) and socially him and the blokes from our group do still meet for the odd pint, tho largely tend to see each other through stuff the women have arranged, birthdays, sunday lunch etc, The NCT class co-ordinator who I booked my classes through (Alison I think it is when you phone up?) advised that it's best to do the classes so they finish when you're about 36/37 weeks pregnant, so it's all still fresh in your mind but then if you do have the baby early, you haven't missed classes etc..
